Patient's question:
After giving birth, I soon developed preeclampsia, and the doctor also said my blood pressure was high, requiring attention to my body. I want to know why my blood pressure is still high after recovering from preeclampsia postpartum. What is going on? What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
First, preeclampsia refers to the occurrence of hypertension during pregnancy, and a small portion of people may develop lifelong hypertension as a result, with elevated blood pressure persisting even after giving birth. For this issue, treatment should be implemented according to the guidelines for hypertension. Pay attention to a low-sodium and low-fat diet, and it is also necessary to visit the cardiology department for follow-up and use some blood pressure-lowering medications. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
