My cousin had a scary episode in her last weeks and they kept saying it was BP related. Now im pregnant too and honestly its sitting in my head. What actually causes this, is it always due to high bp?
My doctor explained that one cause can be a condition called eclampsia which is linked to high blood pressure. Thats why they check BP and urine at every visit so closely. Existing conditions can also be a reason, so regular monitoring really matters.
This is a topic to discuss directly with your gynac beta, dont scare yourself reading online. They watch your BP carefully to prevent such things. If you ever feel severe headache or blurred vision, call the doctor at once.
Seizures in pregnancy can be serious and sometimes linked to very high BP, so this is not something to take lightly. If anyone has a seizure or even severe headache with high BP, it needs emergency care immediately. Please dont delay, get to a hospital.
