Default post surgery complications acdf c6/c7

I had a successful acdf c6/c7 Jan 30, but appear to have had a bad reaction to either the anethesia and/or the scopolamine patch. I ended up in the ER Monday night (week ago) from passing out, dehydration (although i had been hydrating faithfullly), severe headache and tachycardia. Fluids eased the headache, but the low pressure and tachycardia have remained. These problems seemed to worsen after i removed the scop patch which i accidently left on 1 extra day as i forgot i had it.

surgeon is baffled and wants to send me to cardiologist; pcp thinks likely reaction to scop patch and/or too much anethesia..... just hoping someone could chime in if have any similar experience. btw, we've ruled out csf leak ...
many thanks in advance.
