I Had The Bentall Procedure Done Last Oct. I Was

I had the bentall procedure done last oct. I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve & over time it caused my aortic root to dilate to 5 cm.'s. Angiogram was perfect. I'm 48 and over weight from my thyroid shutting down back in '07 till 09 when I found out my then dr. never tested it even though I gained 150 lbs in 2 years. I am down to 278 from over 350. Since my carbon fiber replacement parts, my bp is sky high I just checked it & it was lower than yesterday, but still to high @ 157 over 95, I take meteprolo 23mgs 2xpd. But I was on 100 mgs 1x a day with procardia 30 mg xl which abbot nw told me to not take any more. But my new reg dr thinks it isnt an issue, even though she got me a home bp kit. cant I have a stroke being so high . It's usuually in the 169's over the 110?s
