Hey everyone. I'm 2 days post op and my heart rate keep dipping down in the 50's while I'm at rest. They did an EKG last night and it came back normal. My doctor hadn't made his rounds yet, so I'll ask him when I see him, but just wondered if this was something any of you all have dealt with.

I wouldn't worry too much because you're just two days post-op and you've been resting, so your heart hasn't had a reason to raise its rate much.

mine drops after surgeries as well (not just WLS - it's always dropped after I've had a surgery - any surgery)

Maybe just Maybe, your Heart is filing an complaint! Sort of like " You Cut That Out!" LOL?

Happened to me as well; and low BP too. They told me it was due to anesthesia after effects and also from scopolamine patch. Good luck!

I have a low resting heart rate (low 50's) and gets into the 40's after surgery. They never have seemed concerned.

I had this and low BP too. I am now post op day 3 and everything is starting to go back to normal. I was kind of freaked out in the hospital when I was sitting so low.

Just remember to get up slow and smooth and easy, don't want anybody passing out from Orthostatic Hypotension! At least Ladies- you are on that side of the Spectrum, with Hyper you could feel like the ❤is trying to jump out of your chest!
