Hi Sankar. I was on BP tablets for years. For my assessment I had to have an adrenaline heart stress test as I was too weak to go on the treadmill. I failed it as my BP had become so low that when they started injecting the adrenaline my BP levels dropped through the floor and the test was abandoned. I was told that this was one of the things that could happen with cirrhosis. Another man at the assessment same time as me had the same happen. BP meds for years and then low BP rather than high. I am now 10 months+ post transplant and have been back on tablets for high BP for 6 months but am healthy apart from that (even in remission for diabetes type 2 after 20 + years of having it) Regards. Alf.
An aging heart probably! Good news about the diabetes though. Having lost the excess weight will have a good knock on effect for the rest of my bodily health. Got to be a good boy and keep it off now !
Hi, tacrolimus can cause high blood pressure, I'm having problems at the moment Gp monitoring and changing blood pressure pills. Tacrolimus also causing diabetes. Had pvt before transplant, portal vein completely blocked. 26 months post.
yes, there is the meds effect too over the BP increases. I was warned that the Tac could make my diabetes worse, luckily in my case it didn't. You must have been a rush case for transplant then with PV completely blocked Good to be out on this side of it all now Alf
I had a ct scan in April 2017 which showed it was completely blocked got the call may 8th, was on the list 8 months. Never felt ill, only symptom was vomiting up massive amounts of blood, I asked to be kept at the bottom of the list for as long as possible.
Are you bro's having a joint 1st year new liver celebration as I'm guessing you've never actually met ! How nice would that be for you both ! Ah.... .😁😁😁
One day we will meet for our race. The Pilo and Alf Olympics. It could be known as the PIAF Olympics. Affectionally known as 'The Ediths'...…….. Only folk that are a bit longer in the tooth will understand that one! No regrets hey Pilo?
Re thrombosis - Oh yes I did. That was kind of - understatement of the year - last year 😁- the reason for me getting sorted so quickly 👍. Fancy forgetting that!
I was reading an article written by 2 drs many years ago and it said that blood pressure is usually reduced in chirrottic patients but the pulse gets faster it also said the oxygen levels also get worse those were the findings they said .i dont know if that helps but its what i read .
