Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You may be suffering from postural hypotension it may be side effects of Anesthesia drugs or hypovolemia or rare genetic problem like hydroxylase deficiency. COPD patients may present like CO2 narcosis with flushing of body with warm periphery with blood rush. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Check your blood pressure, check your air blood gas levels, check for serum epinephrine levels then consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
