i am 8 months pregnant and my blood pressure has been slightly high but my pulse rate is what the doctor is monitoring i had an ecg which was ok waiting for a cardiologist appointment for the 24 hour tape if my pulse rate is constantly high what does this mean is there any treatment safe in pregnancy to take to lower this.
Hi, I can understand your concerns about increased BP during pregnancy. As you are 8 months out and only 1 month to go, so I advise you not to worry too much.  Increased blood pressure in pregnancy can lead to various complications, but it probably will not be in your case. You are being monitored for cardiovascular changes which is a very nice thing. So I suggest you continue the treatment you are taking.  Any treatment to lower BP can be taken only after there are specific symptoms and specif ca Blood Pressure levels are breached only. I want to advise you that you follow your normal diet, restrict salt and watch for any alarming signs like dizziness, swelling on legs or on face. If they occur consult with your Gynecologist immediately.  If nothing happens, be under observation and within one month, you will be giving birth to a beautiful baby. Hope I have answered your question. Feel free to contact for any further queries. Best of luck for future. Chat Doctor.
