Low blood pressure after craniotomy

Hi there
I had a craniotomy in 2015. 2 years on, my blood pressure seems to be going lower on too many occasions . I have had dizzy spells where I have fallen down but not passed out. My BP has been 79/40 . I know the Doctors say that low is good but this low? Before I did not have issues with blood pressure.Post surgery it went low. We can continue normally even with low BP but recently it has began to affect me. Has anyone else had problems with low BP. What have the Doctors said to you?

Anna,

Welcome back! I hope you are getting on well with the new community site.

I’ve had a little search through the site for references to low blood pressure and can’t see old conversations that cover this topic. I think it is something that you should get checked out with your normal family doctor, as the references to why someone might have low blood pressure are diverse and probably not related to your AVM.

One resource I’ve found is on the UK NHS Web site:

Hope this helps,

Richard
