Elevated blood pressure after birth
Question: My wife of 30 years, pregnancy – 40 weeks, in time came to give birth. If you receive a measured pressure – 140/100. Then, during childbirth pressure rose to 180, put the two systems (that put – do not know and she does not know). She bore herself. Two days in hospital were also high blood pressure, knocking tablets are beige, the name is not know. On the third day brought them home, the doctor at discharge said measured pressure at home, if it is high – a couple of weeks to go to an appointment with a therapist. In the evening the same day (ie today) were measured – 145/95. We think that this is not normal. And the baby, eat, regurgitate milk, his wife said that probably due to the fact that her blood pressure. In the presence of drugs is on the pressure – berlipril, adelfan – but they have contraindications in pregnancy and lactation. My wife complains that provides little ears. In the last months of pregnancy were edema (was very hot, about 33 deg. With every day), then, the last two weeks of swelling were sleeping and no longer appeared. Here in "answer" I read that the pressure after giving birth can grow, but normalizuetsya. I called in an ambulance, asked if he could take adelfan – replied: "Well, have a drink, just two hours after feeding. Please tell me: what can we do? Measure the pressure on for two weeks? Or try to shoot down drugs? If so, what? Can I somehow bring down the pressure without drugs, well, like herbs? If so, what and if it does not hurt the child? If the pressure should return to normal, within what time frame?
Answer: It is said: if it is high – a couple of weeks to go to an appointment with a therapist. 145/95 + little lays his ears – no high blood pressure, does not require intervention. Take your time in three days, then the doctor will report the results.
