Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 23 yr old female. I am a bit over- weight. My weight is 208 lbs my height is 5 5. I recently had my 2nd baby (4 weeks ago) I was diagnosed with preeclampsia at 32 weeks I didn t have any complications @ all with my first child. After I delivered my baby my BP ran very high like in the 160 s over 103 (that s the highest it had been) I never had a bp reading over 138 when i was pregnant it was always on the high side of normal. But, I did have a lot of protein in my urine and considerable swelling in my legs and feet. I left the hospital on 30 mg procardia xl time released after I delivered. Anyway, I have noticed that I have some tingling on the insides of my feet like as if cold water was being flicked on them (that s the best way I can describe it) I was thinking maybe some nerve damage from the epidural?? It does not happen all the time, just sometimes. I think maybe I am a bit of a hypochondriac at times over my health. I went and had my bp checked 2 weeks ago and it had went down a lot it was 123/79 then. I will be calling my OB since I am not 6 weeks pp yet. But, I am not sure when I will be able to have an appt. I have no past history of high BP. Any sort of answers will greatly ease my mind. Thanks for your time.
