A member asked:
Is high blood pressure and palpitations normal two days after carotid body paraganglioma surgery?

Not normal, but...: ...Possible. There is a rich neural supply at the bifurcation of the carotid, where your surgeon would have removed your tumor. There can be fluctuations in heart rate and blood pressure when this area is manipulated, but it is best if you are evaluated by your surgeon.
