At my last checkup my bp was on the higher side and the doc asked me to monitor it. Im 28 weeks and a bit tensed about it now. What all do u do at home to keep it in control?
High bp in pregnancy is serious, please dont try to manage it at home. I had bp issues and my doctor monitored me closely and it helped. Call your gynac now and follow their advice, dont delay.
My doctor explained high bp can be a sign of conditions like preeclampsia, so they check it at every visit. They told me to watch for headache, swelling or vision changes and report immediately. If your readings are high, contact your gynac without waiting.
Please do not take any bp medicine on your own. This needs your doctor to monitor and decide. Reduce salt and rest, but the main thing is to inform your gynac right away.
I totally understand the worry this brings. Please go to your doctor quickly, dont sit with it. You and baby will be looked after, just reach out soon.
