Had Nasal Surgery And Bp Was High. Have An Enlarged Heart, But Never Met Any Cardiologist. Is Something Wrong?
I just had nasal surgery. In recovery my bp was 217 over 175to pulse was 111. They ended up giving me six injections to lower my bp to 143 over 92. I have a drs appt set up to follow up with the bp. Just wondering if there is something seriously wrong. I was told approx 10 yrs aho i have an enlarged heart but was never advised to check with a cardioligist.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
This level of pressure is high and needs urgent attention.
Blood pressure is silent and dangerous disease - leading to damage in the end - heart, kidney, eyes and brain.
Enlarged heart could be the consequence
See a doctor as soon as possible / you need investigation, treatment and follow up.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
