I come from a family of 10 siblings and most have died from heart disease (father's family history) and diabetes (mother's family history).  Thus far I consider myself to be in very good health (age 66).  I had surgery this month, and my anesthesiologist told me that my blood pressure was rather high and would rise occasionally during the surgery.  She said I should mention this when I see my PCP; however, In Sept. I had my annual checkup and everything is normal for my age.  My blood pressure taken at the time was also normal (can't remember the #s).  My concern right now is sometimes I awake feeling lightheaded and need to sit or lay for awhile and when I begin moving around or doing chores, I seem to feel better.  I don't ake any medications, only Vitamins, (the same taken for many years).  Should I be alarmed about the anesthesiologist's suggestion?  I thank you in advance for your prompt attention to my questions.  Again, would you kindly explain what/how I would if I had high blood pressure, or bouts of it.  Thank you.

Sincerely, nanalorry
