my 42 yr old husband had a tooth pulled 2-18 under anesthesia (gas). Since then he has had 2 instances of feeling foggy headed and fatigue in his legs that lasted a couple hours. Then again today he experienced it again, I took his blood pressure 178/96. He has had no history of high blood pressure, takes no medications.I ended up taking him to the emergeny room. His bp was 211/102. EKG normal, blood normal, chest xray normal. Sent him home. BP still high 182/102. We have an apt with doc tomorrow.I read that ephedrine in anesthesia can cause high BP to escalate. could this have caused this? Is it temporary?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query, you are right local anesthesia with a Chat Doctor. . The increase in BP could be because of tension or stress... it might have not diagnosed previously, and now you might have noticed...consult a general physician and keep him under observation, and later you can start with antihypertensives if the BP doesn't comedown. I hope my answer will help you take care.
