I had the SAME thing happen to me. I'm 3 weeks out as well. I was never on blood pressure meds but I went through the same thing starting about a week after. Every time I stand or do anything I felt faint and racing heart. I did go back to the hospital - I wasn't dehydrated and got in so much Water but after more IV fluids I DID feel better. The Dr's all said it was just my body and stress response to the surgery and also our bodies are literally trying to function with less than 500 calories a day right now. Our body will be tired and the Dr. mentioned some people's blood vessels just change in response to the surgery temporarily. My advice which has helped me is I started drinking electrolyte drinks. NOT electrolyte water but no sugar electrolyte drinks. and just more water. I sometimes just drink more than 64 ounces of water. I also wear compression socks which also help. I still get faint sometimes but even putting some real salt (not table salt) on my tongue helps when that happens too. My surgeon said in a couple months it should get better.
