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.
