Patient's question:
I have gestational hypertension. I went to the hospital once, got medication, and took it. During that time, things did improve, but not completely. Now, I'm experiencing some subtle symptoms again. I'm not sure if I should see the doctor again. Hello, what kind of medication is good for gestational hypertension?Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy is a condition where high blood pressure, proteinuria, and edema reappear during pregnancy. In severe cases, it can develop into preeclampsia or eclampsia. Common clinical treatments include oral administration of slow-release nifedipine to lower blood pressure, diuretics, and magnesium sulfate to relax muscles and provide symptomatic treatment. Rest in bed is required, with minimal physical activity. Blood pressure, urine protein levels, and other data should be monitored regularly. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to control blood pressure.
