Patient's question:
Consulting for preeclampsia? I've never had high blood pressure before, but now that I'm close to giving birth, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia at the hospital, and my body has developed severe edema again. What should I pay attention to with preeclampsia?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy-induced hypertension, if blood pressure exceeds 140/90 mmHg, accompanied by severe generalized edema, or if the pregnant woman experiences symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, and vomiting again, it indicates the recurrence of mild preeclampsia, requiring hospitalization. Blood pressure tends to rise during labor. It is recommended to avoid excessive salt intake, maintain a light diet, pay attention to calcium supplementation, and engage in appropriate physical activity—all of which can help alleviate blood pressure.
