Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for 30 weeks now, and the hospital has conducted a thorough examination, saying that my blood pressure is high, which is quite dangerous. During pregnancy, does having high blood pressure mean there will definitely be danger when giving birth? What are the dangers?Doctor's answer:
With gestational hypertension, it is recommended to follow a low-sodium, low-calorie, low-fat, and low-cholesterol diet. Try to control your calorie intake as much as possible and avoid consuming excessive animal fat and greasy foods. If your blood pressure is high, you should take medication under the guidance of a doctor to control it. Regular prenatal check-ups are necessary to monitor the growth and development of the fetus inside the womb. Pregnant women with gestational hypertension should also engage in appropriate exercises, such as a short walk, to keep their bodies active.
