What should I do if I get nosebleeds while taking folic acid?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. What should I do if taking folic acid causes nosebleeds?

Doctor's answer:

According to the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered that wind-heat invades the lung, causing nosebleed. Treatment should focus on dispelling wind and clearing heat, cooling blood and stopping bleeding. You can take Sangju Decoction (modified) for this. The diet should be light and simple.
If a pregnant woman develops high blood pressure, it is called gestational hypertension syndrome. It can easily lead to serious problems such as slow child development and hypoxia, requiring timely treatment. It is recommended to rest for half an hour after arriving at the hospital before measuring blood pressure. If it is still high, antihypertensive treatment is needed. Magnesium sulfate is generally an effective medication.
