Patient's question:
Sister-in-law has been pregnant for over six months. Recently, she has been feeling dizzy and her head is. She doesn't want to eat anything. The family thought it was a prolonged period of morning sickness and didn't take it seriously at first. However, when she had an ultrasound for a thorough check-up, it was found that the fetus was somewhat smaller than expected. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that her ventilation rate exceeded 130. The doctor said it was due to hypertension. What is the reason for high ventilation rate in hypertension?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Your sister-in-law is in a special period, pregnancy. During pregnancy, due to the transformation of the fetus in her abdomen, the uterus gradually enlarges, controlling the blood vessels in the kidneys to lower blood pressure, resulting in gestational hypertension. For patients with gestational hypertension, individualized appropriate antihypertensive drugs should be taken. Such as calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor antagonists, etc., to reduce blood pressure and minimize damage to target organs. When necessary, hospitalization should be timely, and blood pressure should be controlled under the guidance of professionals, reducing unnecessary physical activity, and strictly resting in bed.
