Low BP: There are many reasons for low BP in a cardiac patient. The heart function could be reduced, too much BP lowering medication, or fluid around the heart.

Accepted Answer

BMI 34.3: Hi. Bariatric surgery is currently not recommended for people with BMI less than 40. Try to adhere to a healthy lifestyle. There are some FDA-approved medications for weight loss you could discuss with your doctor. You should be screened at least annually for diabetes. I know weight loss is incredibly difficult and we know dieting almost never works. Eat healthily and do your best. Good luck!

but measure blood pressure and treat elevation.

Gastric bypass: should not affect the safety or efficacy of the lisinopril.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Ask your doctor: Without knowing all of your medical history or allergies, specific advice should be left to your treating physicians.  Tight blood pressure control is important and based on your heart disease, bisoprolol is a reasonable choice of antihypertensive.  An ace-inhibitor may also be useful, but again, please refer to the good judgement of your doctors.  Be well.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

HTN/High Pulse: 1. Control Pain
2. Use B Blockers like Labetolol in the acute post surgical period

Question 9

Adrenaline: The period surrounding surgery is potentially fraught with opportunities for adrenaline surges, e.g., fear, anxiety, pain.  This may be accompanied by fast heart rate, high blood pressure, irregular heart beats.
