Hi, my wife is pregnant and she is having low blood preasure 80/60, she is not feeling good. Is it safe to use some medicin to elevate blood preasure? Natural ways are not working.... She is unable to drink fluids as she feels all full on her stomach and increased salt intake insnt working.
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is quite normal to have low blood pressure during pregnancy. Nevertheless, I would not recommend additional Chat Doctor.  I would only recommend avoid standing up position and staying in hot places. Increasing salt intake and some additional coffee can be helpful. She can try to use an antacid if she has stomach fullness or heartburn. From the other hand, I would recommend performing monthly complete blood count for possible anemia, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests, and fasting glucose in order to exclude possible metabolic disorder which could aggravate her symptoms. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
