High Blood pessure

[ronniesloan]

My blood pressure is about 140/90 is this a problem for surgery?

Well, you're in you 50s, right? And you said elsewhere that you were overweight but never answered by question about how overweight! In any case, since the 'normal' blood pressure is around 120/80, I'd say that's just fine. Shouldn't have any implications regarding surgery - or more properly, the anaesthetic - at all.

Ronnie that is funny I was just talking about blood pressure in another thread. Of course you got the best reassurance going from Jo. Mine is all over the place from way too low to way too high and has never interferred with surgery.
