Blood Pressure

Could blood presure of 127/67 cause dizziness, nasua, pale clamy skin and extreme fatigue?
Husband had surgery last Wed and lost approx 4 units of blood, he is on a high potency iron pill along with a daily vitamin, he is on two blood pressure meds.
He is experiencing all of the above symptoms. Should I contact his reg dr in the AM to see about altering his blood pressure meds?

The pressure you mentioned is not bad in itself. What is his usual blood pressure? Does his blood pressure change with position (standing, lying)? What is his heart rate? It sounds like he lost a lot of blood in his surgery and may still be anemic. He may need more fluid intake, more rest. The safest thing is to check his hemoglobin (blood test) to make sure he isn't still bleeding. Yes, call the doctor ASAP.

Hi,
127/67 is NOT serious enough for worry, but the 67 figure is cause of worry if reading takem on empty stomach. Normally blood pressure falls after meals as all blood gets diverted to the digestive tract.
But it is not serious.
The other symptoms may be due to some other medication.
But just in case, keep electral powder ready.
If he feels giddy and perspires a lot suddenly, then it DOES mean his BP is an issue.
Get it read off immediately and if low, administer oral electrolytes.
regards
Jayen
