What Causes Fluctuations In Blood Pressure During Pregnancy?
Tablet labetalol also needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety about the issue.
It is common to have fluctuations of blood pressure in various time of the day and even on various days and is more common in early onset hypertension of pregnancy.
Alphadopa takes 5-7 days to show its effect on blood pressure and it has a mild effect on blood pressure but in my opinion you need to add tablet labetalol after consulting your gynaecologist for proper control of blood pressure.
Along with this you should restrict salt intake and avoid excessive calories which can contribute to blood pressure.
Visit your gynaecologist and discuss about addition of labetalol.
Take care
Regards
