Hello, my blood pressure has been fluctuating a bit since I got pregnant. I'm wondering if BP can be effectively controlled during pregnancy? What are common ways to manage it?
High BP requires strict doctor consultation first, so please check with your gynac immediately. At home, eat less salt in dal and veggies, avoid outside junk food, and drink coconut water. Keep it simple and follow the doctor's instructions strictly.
Monitoring your BP strictly is very important, so please consult your doctor right away for proper medication. Make sure you invest in a good home BP monitor and keep a log of your readings to show your gynac. Don't skip any medicines or take this lightly.
You can control it, but doctor's advice is a must first. I did 20 minutes of very light, slow walking daily which helped keep my levels steady, but only after my doctor specifically allowed it. Don't do any yoga or exercises without asking your gynac first.
I totally understand how scary it feels when the doctor says your BP is a bit high, please don't cry or stress dear. It is absolutely manageable with the right medicines that your doctor will give. Just trust your gynac and let them monitor you closely, everything will be perfect.
While it can be controlled, please consult your gynac immediately because BP is very important in pregnancy. I had to cut down on my favourite salty snacks like chips and pickles on doctor's advice. Definitely get your regular checkup done.
