That was not what happened to me. I'm very interest to see what you find out.

marianne rose,
Jmo...
From my minimal searching, it can be related to it.
Did you have high BP before surgery and were you on meds for it? Is your BP still high?
Were you treated for the depression?
...and how long ago was your surgery?
General anesthesia can have myriad and lingering effects on the patient. Have you spoken with your physician in regards to this happening?
It plus any meds you were already taking, any pain meds after, and your mental state can all contribute to the high BP and the depression.
Your physician should be able to pinpoint what happened when you talk with him/her.
