Symptoms Of Hypertension In Pregnancy

symptoms of hypertension in pregnancy
Hypertension in pregnancy, whether it happens before or after conception, should be managed properly, since hypertension can harm the baby because of decreased blood flow to the placenta. Besides that, pregnant women with hypertension tend to deliver prematurely.

Risk factors
Pregnant women are at a high risk of hypertension during pregnancy if:
  • Medical history of chronic hypertension
  • Previous pregnancy with hypertension
  • Age: under 20, or more than 35.
  • Family history of hypertension during pregnancy
  • Medical history of diabetes, cardiovascular disease
  • Heavy smoker, alcoholic, drug abuser
  • Medical history of kidney disease
  • Medical history of auto immune disease such as SLE, rheumatoid arthritis
  • Being underweight or overweight before pregnancy 
There are different kinds of hypertension in pregnancy:
  • Gestational hypertension. If hypertension occurs after week 20. After delivery, the blood pressure will back to normal.
  • Chronic hypertension. If hypertension occurs before pregnancy, or during pregnancy but before week 20. After delivery, it will last more than 12 weeks.
  • Preeclampsia. It is a life threatening condition that is characterized by hypertension and protein in the urine after week 20 of pregnancy. 
Symptoms of hypertension in pregnancy
  • Prolonged headache
  • Blurred vision
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Upper abdominal pain (just like dyspepsia), usually on the right side
  • Abnormal weight gain (more than 2.3 kg per week)
  • Increased vomiting
  • Swelling in the face and hands
  • Numbness in extremities
  • Decreased fetal movement
  • Persistent vaginal bleeding
Treatment of hypertension in pregnancy
If you experience the symptoms above, please be aware of preeclampsia. Go to your obstetrician to take some blood and urine tests, and sonography to know about the fetal well being. The doctor will give you antihypertension drugs that should be taken regularly. At home, you should check the blood pressure periodically. Hospitalization is also needed in certain condition.

  2. Please change you're mind now if you have any doubt about Herbs. I'm a living witness. I was cure of Herpes by a great powerful herbalist Dr. Dominic Elabe.it was after I got my worst breakdown on 12/2/2018, when I was diagnosed of Herpes Simplex Virus. I became worried and ashamed to show myself in the public. I tried so many antiviral treatment, to see if I could get ride of my health issues,but non could cure me,glory to God. My researchers on the Herpes remedy got me excited when I came across lots of testimonies on how there where cured of Herpes with Herbs by Dr. Dominic Elabe.......
    I did contacted the Dr, luckily for me it was his happy day. He had to take me to his hospitals to view the other patience of much critical conditions and of group pictures with testifying patients who had been cured. It was indeed a great day for me. I quickly requested for my cure cos I was convinced he could cure me as well. Not long he prepared the medicine for me and sent through the DHL delivery service. It was together with an herbal cream that burnt all the blisters on the affected parts. I followed the instructions given to me, and it works for me too. My Dr, just confirmed me Herpes negative. I'm so happy with my life now.Dr. Dominic Elabe is a good man and had been with his gift from birth.you need to contact him yourself for any health challenge @
