Avoid salt, pickles, and basically any drama or arguments with husband, haha! On a serious note, high BP can be tricky, so please check with your doctor regularly. My doc put me on mild meds and it kept my baby totally safe.

Yes, definitely avoid heavy salt and stress, and please stay in touch with your doctor regularly.

I had high BP in my 8th month and I felt so scared for my baby. I immediately cut down on extra salt, pickles, and processed food, but honestly, the most important thing is to take your prescribed medicine on time. Please keep measuring your BP daily and call your gynac immediately if you feel dizzy.

I completely understand how stressful a high BP reading can be, please take a deep breath. You must avoid processed foods, pickles, and unnecessary worry. But please, don't try any random home remedies for this, check with your gynac and follow her advice strictly.

Acha suno, sodium bilkul kam kar do, matlab papad, achaar aur bahar ka khana bilkul nahi khana hai na. Aur gussa ya tension toh lene ka hi nahi. Par doctor se consult zaroor karte rehna, BP normal rakhna bohot zaruri hai.
