Eight months pregnant, high blood pressure, all over weak and powerless, what is the reason?

Patient's question:

Doctor: Hello! My sister is eight months pregnant and has recently been experiencing high blood pressure, general weakness, and a lack of appetite. When she went to the hospital for check-ups, all her indicators were normal, but the fetus is slightly smaller than expected. Could you please tell me what might be causing her symptoms? I would appreciate a prompt response. Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your situation analysis, the shortness of breath and chest tightness in pregnant women are due to the fetus growing and compressing the lung tissue, which affects their own respiratory state. This is a normal pregnancy response. However, it cannot be ruled out that you may have heart problems, and it is recommended to have an electrocardiogram at the hospital to rule out heart issues. In this season, you can spend more time outdoors to breathe fresh air, or you can also take oxygen treatment measures at the hospital.
