Low BP after surgery 3 weeks ago - anyone else had this?

You do not say what kind of surgery and whether a bit anaemic is because of the surgery. Only 3 weeks after surgery but you seem to be doing well and positive from what you say. If you can, I suggest seek advice from your contact  nurse or specialist for guidance on dealing with anaemia and to discuss your BP. No doubt some gentle movement/excercise for short periods should help, and also maybe seek guidance on diet at this early post-surgery stage. Best is to seek and follow advice from the medics. I had major colon surgery and it took many weeks to build up to feeling a bit more like normal, Best wishes.

Thanks, it was a right hemicolectomy.  I was anaemic before, had 2 infusions but still a bit anaemic on discharge.

I am up and about, walking a few miles a day and feel OK just tired and sometimes almost in a state of torpor . A bit like I imagine a bear to be before hibernation! To be honest that's probably not a bad place to be! 

The GP is re testing iron in a few weeks so will seek advice on BP. 

I hope you are doing well.

Hi Arial 88,

I echo what Anbou said. Check with your specialist nurses and I am sure you will get advice and reassurance. 

My operation is in a few weeks. I have had pernicious anaemia for around 20 years and receive B12 injections on a 12 weekly rota. Next one due in late March. 

Rest up and be kind to yourself. X
