| *Women health>>>High Blood Pressure |
Frustrated with my inability to maintain high blood pressure at 28 weeks. I am taking medicine Alphadopa daily |
and also not taking much of salt. But when i went to my doc for regular checkup yesterday i had really high BP. It was 140/100! i was reading a novel some days ago,may be lack of sleep. But its really frustrating. She increased my medicine dose, asked me to avoid excessive salt, relax, have low fat diet but I wasnt really having any high fat/salt diet earlier. Yes I use to eat out once a week. What else I can do?? I really want to be healthy and have a healthy baby. I lost my first kid and dont want to take any chances this time. I have no swelling in my feet or face. Neither do i have any problem or symptom of high BP. Yet it puts me off when I am unable to manage it. Anyone facing same situation?? I am very much in touch with my doc and she is very optimistic I will be OK if I take her medicines and have a C-section after 38 weeks. MY QUESTION: Did anyone of you had high BP even after taking blood pressure medicine Alphadopa in pregnancy? Was the baby fine absolutely? Ok, first off I have the complete opposite problem during pregnancy -too low blood pressure. However the diet I use was started to prevent pre-eclampsia and toxemia of pregnancy. Honestly I feel much better the closer to this diet I stick. So, read this site (though I really hate the new layout) and ask yourself -how much does my doctor know about nutrition during pregnancy: http://www.blueribbonbaby.org/ 鈥溾€?If we argue 1.0% MTLPMetabolic-Toxemia-of-Late-...

It鈥檚 not random. The cause is NOT unknown. Toxemia CAN be stopped. PreeclampsiaA-toxic-condition-... CAN be stopped. Best of all, YOU can stop it! HOW? All the scientific research being done on toxemia and preeclampsia these days is focusing on treatment, and none of it is promising. But the research has already been done, many times and many ways in the past 50+ years, and we know that you can PREVENT this from happening to you in the first place, no matter what your personal history may be. The simple answer?
