Hello doctor,
I am a 30-year-old female with a height of 5 feet 3 inches and a weight of 65 pounds. This is my first pregnancy. All test reports are normal until now but my BP is 140/90. Is it very high? I am too much tensed. Please help me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Fourteen weeks of pregnancy and your blood pressure is 140/90. You need to monitor your blood pressure every six hours with your gynaecologist who will judge whether it is really raised or just a chance of finding. Accordingly, he will prescribe you medicines. I suggest you take the tablet Aspirin 75 mg to maintain your blood pressure and fetal growth parameters. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicines with their consent. You need to have diet changes such as low salt diet, no pickles and spicy food.
