I’m going through the same situation and feel so scared and lonely right now. I’m currently almost 3 weeks postpartum on medication and blood pressure still high 😩
@@paulakarl12 SAME!! Everyone around me says, it’s okay you can take meds. But I feel the same way as you, all I do is cry about it. I worked HARD to eat right(within reason of course, I wasn’t necessarily eating greens everyday lol) but I tried to limit salts and fried foods. I was healthy the entire time and BOOM during my 6week PP checkup, my BP is high. I was very devastated 😭😭. It’s such a lonely feeling.. and now I don’t know if I want another kid because hypertension can cause preclampsia. I don’t want to traumatize myself more than I am right now..
@@brialianabesos I’m so sorry you are going through this too. I can completely understand you. I’ve been crying my eyes out for the last 3 weeks. In my case I had a healthy pregnancy the whole time and around 35 weeks my BP started getting high so they induced me at 38 weeks telling me that ones the placenta was out I was going back to normal and unfortunately it got worse. I was put on magnesium in the hospital and finally went home after 5 days but still with medication everytime they take my BP I freak out and makes it worse🤦🏻♀️. I really feel traumatized by this experience
@@paulakarl12 ohhh wow!! I took magnesium during my 2nd and part of my 3rd trimester for the constant cramping. I didn’t know magnesium could aid in our BP. Have they mentioned anything that could help bring our BP back to normal? My OB tells me that working out, losing weight, watching the foods etc will help. I’m doing all of that except lose weight because I’m already a small woman. I’m so nervous to be placed on medication because that can be a potential lifetime medication 😭😭😭 Thinking about it and writing this makes me soooo sad!! Do you feel differently now that you have high BP? I don’t feel any different. They continue to ask if I’m seeing dots, blurred vision or experiencing headaches that won’t go away. It’s odd because I feel fine.
@@brialianabesos Well I also took magnesium during my pregnancy but the one I was put on at the hospital it’s a different one which is an iv medication to prevent seizures. I was on it for 15 hours and omg the side effects were horrible. The only thing they told me was to consume less sodium and to eat healthy and the high BP should go away within 6-8 weeks which I really hope is the case 🙁. I know, as right now I’m taking medication and I can’t imagine having to take it for the rest of my life 😭. I do have migraines but I’ve always had it so I don’t know if it’s from the BP or just normal migraines but besides that I feel normal 🤷🏻♀️
My baby is 3 months in one week and l started to have blood pressure for my first time when she was 8 weeks. Doctor prescribed me lisipronel for the blood pressure. Doctor l would like to know if it was not better to advice me to take magnesium supplements unstead of putting me on medication. Thanks
At 8 weeks postpartum, developing hypertension suddenly is likely not sure to the pregnancy. I wonder if you had high blood pressure earlier after delivery, but it was not caught earlier. Magnesium supplements are not a treatment option for high blood pressure outside of IV treatment in the hospital for 24hrs when immediately postpartum.
Doctor im 27 years old and got highblood pressure after giving birth. Im taking Adalat 30mg and its almost 3 months Im taking it. So far my bp is at least doing well but most of the time when I get nervous my diastolic always goes up. Im getting 108/88 or even 118/96 is it normal?
is it possible that a pain killer can cause PIH? i have a preeclampsia 5 days after my C-section.. i stop my pain killer medication and after 5 days i felt a little tingling in my C-section area but my BP was back to normal..
I came here looking for this one. I just had my baby and they were giving me two Percocet every 4 hrs and one ibuprofen every 8. Next thing I know, my BP and pulse is up!
Excellent question. Painkillers won't cause hypertension after delivery but can make it worse. NSAIDs fall in this category. Blood pressure elevations after delivery can last 2-45 days and then normalize.
@@callmedoctor.pit's been 3 yrs since i delivered my child and i'm still on BP meds 😢 i wish to God i was one of the lucky ones whose only lasted a little over a month and went back to normal now i'm beyond scared to get pregnant again because i'm still on BP meds and don't know how preganant will affect my BP now 😢
When the midwife was stitching my v-tiers after giving birth to my son I passed out my body was ice cold except my foot according to the midwife she said my bp was high but my bp has been normal since my pregnancy that day was the scariest day of my life,what could cause the hbp doctor.
@Jmilfred1970 Sometimes after delivery, you lose blood, your body may struggle to create balance internally, and you can develop high blood pressures suddenly. Any of these could happen.
Same here it been 1 year since I gave birth it still high am on medication but it still high the doctor had to put me on 2 different bp medication am stressed out
If you read this and you have anything to say please do. When I was pregnant with my first child, I got PIH and when I delivered my baby I didn't have aby issues. Since its my first pregnancy I was so careful with my diet which inable me to deliver normally cos the baby wasn't big cos I didn't gain much weight. Almost 2 years after that I got pregnant again and with this one all my cravings was salty and sweet abd junk foods, I was really careless and didn't care and my bp was high and I was on med. After I had my 2nd baby tru CS, 5 days after, I had super high bp that my ob-gyn told me to go and see a cardiologist, the doctor put me on med (amlodipine 10mg) and after that visit ive not met any doctor cos I had to travel abroad where health care is not very good. Its been 5 years I'm on rhat 10mg med and I always have headaches and blurry vision. So I reduced it to 5mg by myself after that I don't feel those things anymore. The problem now is this, I just found out that I'm pregnant and I'm scared to death that this pregnancy will kill me. No one wants to die. Is there anything I can do?
@MischievousMetoo Hi, congratulations on your third pregnancy. I would recommend that you get started on your prenatal care immediately if you haven't started. It is important that you BPs be monitored carefully and your organs as well. You will need medication adjustments as well. If you have a good high-risk OBGYN, you are likely to have good care, a healthy pregnancy, and a healthy baby. Good luck in your journey and try to enjoy it as much as possible! 🥰
@@callmedoctor.p thanks for responding I really appreciate. I've not gone to prenatal and still taking my amlodipine. I'm really scared that I'm considering abortion. Those bp medications during pregnancy can they help normalize bp? How about when I reach 20 weeks, will it raise even more? I'm really really scared I could die. I have small kids.
at my 6 week pp visit my blood pressure was super high and my OB said it’s not considered preeclampsia but im now on meds n hate it. but hopefully not for long. i believe my bp shot up during my 6 weeks but i just didn’t know. never had this happen with my other two births or afterwards. my bp up and down all day even with the meds? i only been taking them for a few days. how long does it take to work & get it under control? she said i may not be on the meds for long.
I too am postpartum and dealing with postpartum hypertension it's been 3mo now still high
I needed to hear this.. I just found out my BP is high and I delivered a month ago. No medical issues ever prior :(

How long does bp back to normal after taking medicine? Is bp 130/100 or 120/100 consoder PIH?
@@steffme8438 Yes, those BPs are PIH
My baby is 6 months old now and I started getting high bp after giving birth
@@CocosTube do you still have highblood pressure until now that your baby is 6 month old?
Do you also take meds? Thank you for answer in advance.
@@MariaRhodoraBetsyNavida I don’t take meds. Still high
@@CocosTube what do you do if your bp is high if you dont take meds. i want to stop taking meds but evrytime my bp is high

I am almost 1 yr now after giving birth and my blood pressure is still high . Prior to my delivery I never had BP issues at all ... What should I do?
Same here it been 1 year since I gave birth it still high am on medication but it still high the doctor had to put me on 2 different bp medication am stressed out
Same and I’m very scared because I’m young and want to be here in the future for my child
I am 9 weeks postpartum and my gyn discovered my blood pressure is now high. Can pain from diastasis recti cause this?
Hi, no. Pain from diastasis recti will not cause high blood pressure
Hello. Are you okay now from postpartum hypertension? Im 2 months high blood after giving birth
@MariaRhodoraBetsyNavida it finally leveled out.
