High Blood Pressure
How To Treat High Blood Pressure In Pregnancy?
High blood pressure is a malady that is associated with
several complications. In some cases hypertension nurtures complications
or diseases while in others it is a by product of various complications
and physical states of humans.
A woman on family way has been often found afflicted with high blood pressure. The
cause of this hypertension is also debatable like other types of
hypertensions. Well, there could be two or three possible reasons of it.
Wherein, the most prominent one is preeclampsia.
In case of this pregnancy induced hypertension, initially you witness a surge in
systolic BP by thirty mm and diastolic BP by twenty mm. Presence of
protein contents in urine confirms this type of hypertension.
It is just because of this preeclampsia resulted hypertension a pregnant is
constantly required to keep track of blood pressure. This blood pressure
complication usually arises in mid pregnancy. Women who have conceived
for the first time are very much susceptible to preeclampsia. Pregnancy
in late thirties or forties may also be a cause of such high blood
pressure.
Among most pregnant women this preeclampsia propelled
surge in BP is witnessed after six or seven months of pregnancy. This
high blood pressure usually prevails till the delivery. Once the child
is borne the hypertension lowers down and vanishes within few days. If a
woman suffers a greater surge in blood pressure in her later stage of
pregnancy, cesarean delivery before the scheduled date of delivery
remains the only option. For, only the delivery would result in normalcy
of blood pressure.
Although a less severe case of preeclampsia is
difficult to be identified, a reasonably higher level of preeclampsia
hypertension could be identified with constant headache, frequent
vomiting, dizziness and blurring of vision.
A pregnant woman must be informed of various symptoms of this hypertension so that she could
take immediate action once she finds herself with these symptoms.
This hypertension originates probably due to placental disorder. It is said
that placental blood vessels constricts to result in hypertension. Women
may also suffer from this complication due to less than required intake
of various vitamins and nutrients that are essential during pregnancy.
Some hormonal disorders may also contribute to this hypertension.
All in all, I would suggest all pregnant women to take preventive measures
for preeclampsia as it adds to the ordeal of being pregnant.
