Patient's question:
The heart has failed and the patient has been admitted to the intensive care unit. The main symptoms are high blood pressure, high heart rate, dizziness, and normal fetal heart activity.Doctor's answer:
When pregnancy-induced hypertension becomes severe and progresses to preeclampsia or eclampsia, it is important to be hospitalized promptly and administer intravenous medications to control blood pressure as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration of the condition. After the blood pressure stabilizes and begins to decrease, oral antihypertensive medications can be introduced. Currently, atenolol (Tenormin) or metoprolol (Lopressor) are commonly recommended, taken in two divided doses.
