How to lower diastolic blood pressure during pregnancy?
At my last checkup the lower number was on the higher side and doc told me to keep an eye on it. Im 28 weeks and getting thoda tense about it now. Anyone managed to bring it down with diet or rest?
High diastolic pressure can be a sign of preeclampsia, so please call your doctor immediately. Avoid taking any salt-heavy foods or home remedies for this. Proper medical evaluation is the safest way to handle it.
Beta, keep your mind very calm and avoid salty pickles or papad. But high blood pressure in pregnancy is not something to treat at home. Please go and see your gynac today itself, let them check you properly.
My BP shot up during my third trimester, and I had to be put on mild bed rest. It is very manageable if you catch it early. Just follow whatever your doctor says and avoid worrying, your baby will be fine.
Diastolic BP shouldn't be ignored as it reflects the pressure when your heart rests. Limit your salt intake and rest on your left side, but call your doctor's clinic immediately to see if you need medication.
I also had a slightly high reading at my last clinic visit and got so worried. Is anyone else facing this in their second trimester? My doctor told me to track it daily at home and report if it goes higher.
I panicked so much when my blood pressure went up slightly in my 2nd trimester! Turns out I was just stressed. But please check with your doctor immediately, high BP can be serious, so don't ignore it.
