Patient's question:
I am currently in early pregnancy at 28 weeks, and I've been feeling occasional dizziness lately. Yesterday, I checked my blood pressure carefully, and it's been high now—systolic blood pressure is 135. What should the blood pressure be for gestational hypertension?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, blood pressure is relatively high. Generally, the systolic pressure does not exceed 130, and the diastolic pressure does not exceed 90, which is normal. If it exceeds this level, it is considered gestational hypertension. Gestational hypertension is a serious condition that affects both the mother and the fetus. If you have gestational hypertension, your condition should be carefully monitored for two or three days. If the blood pressure remains high, you will need to take antihypertensive medication under the guidance of a doctor.
