Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure
Post surgery to remove a 3 inch by 3 inch area of basal cell cancer on my chest that ended up taking 4 hours and 18 stitches. I m a 68 year old man pretty healthy having high blood pressure but under control with meds. I work out 6 2 214lbs. When I went into surgery my bp was high 154/88 my normal is 124/54.. And when I came out it was extremely high 195/ 88. My concern is I have chills I m freezing... 14 hours later. I m having to uranate every hour two at the most. And at times Its painful to do so all the way from the front of my stomach/ bladder area to my back/ kidney area. I m not running fever though. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Thank you Mike

Hi,
As per my clinical experience, the chills without fever can be in relation with temperature variant, IV fluids or else. Difficulty in passing urine is possible ( if no catheter is inserted per urethra ) after surgery due to surgical site pain pulling the abdomen muscles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
