A: In an emergency setting, blood pressure can be lowered very quickly under close monitoring. Before elective surgery, it is best to gradually get your blood pressure into good control to lower your risk of complications. Starving yourself is not an effective or safe way to lower blood pressure. Make sure the doctor who prescribes your blood pressure medicine is in communication with your surgeon. Chronic pain can make blood pressure more difficult to control. Anxiety about upcoming surgery can contribute to high blood pressure. Both your doctors should be in agreement about the timing of your surgery and the steps that need to be taken to get you ready for surgery.
