Patient's question:
Admitted one week past due date, blood pressure checked at 150/80Doctor's answer:
Hello, the drug treatment for gestational hypertension includes spasmolytic drugs, sedative drugs, and antihypertensive drugs. Although antihypertensive drugs can lower blood pressure, they also reduce blood flow to important organs, especially the uterine placental blood flow, which can be harmful to the fetus. Therefore, mild hypertension is less commonly treated with them.
