What is a dangerously low blood pressure in pregnancy?
My BP has been on the lower side lately and i keep feeling dizzy when i stand up suddenly. It's making me a bit nervous na. I'll show my reports to gynac but wanted to know at what point it actually becomes dangerous?
Beta this is really a doctor question, please dont rely on us for a safe number. If your BP feels low and you are dizzy, sit or lie down and contact your doctor. They will tell you whats dangerous for your specific case.
Honestly the safe range and danger point differ for each woman, so I would not put a number here. Keep a BP log if you have a monitor and share with your gynac. With symptoms like fainting or chest discomfort, treat it as urgent and reach the doctor.
Dont chase an exact number from the internet, it varies per person and what matters is symptoms. When I felt dizzy my doc told me to lie on my left side, drink water and eat something, and call if it didnt settle. If you are feeling faint right now, get checked.
My doctor said some drop in BP is normal in pregnancy especially mid trimester, but very low readings with symptoms like fainting need checking. She didnt want me self judging by number alone. If your reading is low and you feel unwell, call your doctor, they interpret it with your symptoms.
Low BP can make you feel faint and dizzy, I had this. Rather than fixing a number in your head, the real sign is how you feel, if you are very dizzy, blurry vision or about to faint, thats when you need to be seen urgently. Please let your doctor track your readings.
