Suggest Treatment For Elevated BP During Pregnancy
My daughter in law is 9months and week pregagnat we brought her to the doctor for her regular check up and we came to know she is having high bp 160/100, during the preganacy she had thyroid and her blood sugar was also on border line .... Doctor has admitted her in hospital I hope alll goes well please advice what should be the course of the treatment
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the continuous monitoring is required for both mother and fetus. But one good thing is appearance of high BP at late months of pregnancy. Because if the BP has started early it results in growth restriction of fetus. So don't worry the BP can be controlled by antihypertensive medicines. And the well being of fetus can be known by ultrasound and Doppler. And as the sugar is borderline diet management like low carbohydrate diet might be needed. The thyroid hormone level should be under control and that is known by doing thyroid profile. Inspite of taking antihypertensives if the BP is not controlled then the termination of pregnancy is planned. Nothing to worry. Hope this helps. Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
