<< About 13 years ago I had gallbladder surgery -- the old-fashioned kind, not
the new laparoscopic (sp?) kind. This was 10 years before TM. The pre-op lab
work was done in the same place they prepare people for surgery, and I kind
of
felt skittish about seeing those people on gurneys being wheeled down the
hall
to the great unknown...and my blood pressure was something like 80 over 50.
The nurse said, "Is this normal for you?" ...Uh, no... I think it was also
low just prior to surgery. I did wonder about it, but no one seemed worried
about it. (How trusting we are when under medication....)
This was all long before TM, so in my case I don't think it was related, but
it may be in yours.
Someone did one time tell me they got cold more easily due to low blood
pressure; if that is accurate, I wonder if that could be a connection to the
out-of-whack thermostat?

hmmm...
I wasn't under any medication before my surgury.. .. hadn't given me a darn
thing yet... My blood pressure just seems to be all over the map.... Did you
have your episode of hypotension after they medicated you? Sometimes that
will bring it down... Have you had any episodes since? I just wish I could
find the culprit in my case... Sure would be nice not to have to deal with
that along with everything else...
I wonder if the coldness is related to the blood pressure... but it is quite
strange that I only get "frozen" from the mid-waist down...
