Medical Conditions - Gestational Hypertension

Gestational hypertension, also known as pregnancy-induced hypertension, is a condition that occurs when a woman develops high blood pressure during pregnancy, usually after 20 weeks of gestation. This condition may cause symptoms such as headaches, blurry vision, abdominal pain, and swelling in the hands and feet. Gestational hypertension can lead to complications such as preeclampsia, a serious condition that can cause damage to the mother's organs and restrict fetal growth.
