I have low blood pressure. How safe is it for me to have a breast reduction?

Lifeontheedge16
I had my daughter 3 months ago and had to be induced. With the combination of Pitocin, epidural and low blood pressure my blood pressure dropped to 40/20. The nurse said its common for people with low blood pressures and the combination of medications for blood pressure to drop; but mine got very low! They actually started doing CPR on me which I was so out of it I didn't even know. Is there a chance I could have complications with my blood pressure and medications?
