Suggest Treatment For Elevated Pulse Rate And Dizziness While Having Preeclampsia

I am 30 weeks pregnant and have been tested for preeclampsia 2 times within the last week. I have the headache, swelling, dizziness, and my blood pressure was just checked and it is 134/77. My pulse rate has been high the last few days as well, today is 102. Both were checked after sitting for about an hour. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Thanks for writing.
As u are suffering from preeclampsia all the symptoms u mentioned commonly do occur in this condition.
High pulse rate is alsi a symptom.
As u know alpha methyl dopa ia given for control of hypertension.
So in my opinion pulse rate of 100-110 wil remain through out the last trimester.
The level of blood pressure is more important than pulse rate.
If u have any feeling of seizure or unconsciousness I urge u to visit ur treating gynecologist.
Thanks
Wish u a healthy pregnancy.
