What are the treatments for gestational hypertension?

Patient's question:

I am currently pregnant and have been for five months. However, my previous high blood pressure condition was not as noticeable. By the time I was five months pregnant, it had already become severe. Now, I don't know what to do? Hello doctor, how should high blood pressure during early pregnancy be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, patients with preeclampsia should first pay attention to rest, monitor blood pressure changes, and closely monitor maternal and fetal status. Oxygen supplementation should be given intermittently to the pregnant woman, and a high-protein, high-calorie diet should be recommended. For pregnant women with generalized edema, salt intake should be appropriately limited. At the same time, symptomatic treatments such as muscle relaxation, sedation, acceleration, blood pressure reduction, and diuresis should be performed. If preeclampsia cannot be controlled, early pregnancy termination may be necessary if necessary.
