Changes in heart rate and blood pressure?

I had my sleeve done in February and was immediately taken off my blood pressure medications after surgery. I haven't been on any medications (except my psychiatric meds) since then. I have a FitBit that tracks my heart rate and my resting heart rate is almost always below 55 BPM. Before surgery my resting heart rate was at least 70. I have confirmed several times that my FitBit is accurate. I use an at-home blood pressure cuff every so often and I find that when my heart rate is below 60 (which it often is), the bottom number on my blood pressure is always high. If I move around a bit to get my heart rate above 60, my blood pressure is then within the normal range. Today I did this and when my heart rate was 57 my blood pressure was 137/101. I did it a few minutes later with a heart rate of 63 and my blood pressure was 128/84. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I have a physical scheduled in January and I do plan on bringing this up during my appointment.

Bring it up to the doc for sure. 137/101 is too high. My group told me to phone if my BP went over 160 on top or 90 on the bottom. I had a couple days over 90 when I was first taken off my meds, and did half a BP pill for a while and it helped. Then my BP dropped again for a few days and I went off completely. Have not been back on since, and it's been steady high 120's over mid 80's. i'm happy with this.

But yeah, keeping track and keeping your team in the loop is the way to go for sure!

PS...my heart rate dropped significantly, too. i'd been on BP meds and a diuretic for over 20 years! No more:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
