Were they monitoring you as you came round from the op?
Yes you are still plugged in on recovery. Need to see that you are able to be moved and fully out of anaesthetic I presume.
A few years back whence returning to my hospital side room after major surgery, the first couple of hours that i could be bothered to look at it (I had much more pressing things on my mind tbh

) my heart rate monitor was sitting at mid 30s bpm, I never thought it was an issue as I was breathing ok inbetween the pain & none of the medical staff seemed worried about it.
With my Crohn's my resting heart rate varies massively, I did a check yesterday whilst watching tv and it was 58 there are times when it is much higher especially when I feel totally washed out, often it can take my heart rate a very long time to come back to 'normal' after doing any activities, c'est la vie..
