How is the differential diagnosis of gestational hypertension performed?

Patient's question:

A woman is 23 years old this year. I also don't know why I had this disease back then, because I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I only went for a check-up when I felt unwell, and this disease had already started to affect my life. Please ask: How is the differentiation of gestational hypertension carried out?

Doctor's answer:

If the measured blood pressure now shows systolic pressure greater than 140 or diastolic pressure greater than 90 mmHg, then hypertension can be diagnosed. Elderly pregnant women are prone to experiencing pregnancy-related complications again. Hypertension can manifest as edema and low protein levels.
Recommendation: Closely monitor blood pressure data, and seek follow-up in the cardiology department for re-adjustment if necessary. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should promptly undergo systematic and standardized examinations in a reputable Grade-A hospital according to their specific conditions to ensure targeted treatment.
Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and warmth, consume light and soft foods in daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
