pulmonary hypertension is where your bp is high sys is 140 plus i can’t remember the dystolic hi.

As for the original hypotension. I had that post op, they had to adjust my meds as I was breathless . Also so weak the nurses had to assist me yo a sitting position.

My bp still isnt clever but seems to be on the lower end if acceptable.

Again this is meds related as they ate giving me something to bring my pulse rate diwn , as it happens it also lowers my Bp.

If you are worried talk to your doctors.
