avoid foods with high fat and salt content and avoid the wine just for now. foods high in potassium can counteract sodium since both work together in the body. foods such as banana's potatoes dark leafy greens and some yoghurts contain potassium. increase your fibre and magnesium intake which are again found in the food mentioned above as well as various other food like spinach tuna tomatoes kale apples oranges etc. again remember everything needs to be in moderation. eating 15 oranges or bananas is just going to cause other problems. i myself (and i am not an expert) would do light exercise such as walking as exercise is great in reducing blood pressure. however your body is a great judge on what is and is not best for you. if you feel too ill to go walking then don't! i cannot comment about the potential link with anesthesia used but i would not be too concerned at this current time. your body has just undergo a lot of stress and changes to accommodate for the surgery. your heart may have been pumping harder to keep your body functioning normally during this period of stress. it may take time for your body to adapt to the calm after the storm. i hope this may help reassure you <positive_smiley>
what should i eat and drink if i've had an incident of high blood pressure for the first time? . yesterday i had 8 moles removed. after the surgery i got a big headache. i was placed under observation for about an hour and given paracetamol until my blood pressure dropped. first time anything like this has ever happened to me. i still have a bit of a residual headache. could this have been caused by the anesthesia used? . can i eat normally have a glass of wine etc? should i take it easy for a day or two or can i go for walks and such?
