Conclusion: Some factors affect the fact that blood pressure rises, while others - that it decreases. The lack of harmony between them contributes to increased pressure. 140/90 mm. gt; Art. - this is the boundary indicator at which the "arterial hypertension" is diagnosed in a pregnant woman. Of course, this is not a constant. In some women, whose blood pressure is usually lowered (hypotonic), this disease can develop if blood pressure (BP) is within the limits of the acceptable norm for the average person. Because we want to say that it is very important and you need to know your usual pressure.
After the first trimester, after exacerbating the toxicosis, after a low blood pressure, an increased (even to those who have it "usually low"), as in the second trimester of a pregnant pregnancy, the volume of circulating blood very sharply increases (3 times!). But the bloodstream in its volume practically does not change. That is why blood pressure rises in a natural way. It can be safely asserted that high blood pressure is normal physiology for the period of pregnancy in women. If there is noise in the ears while climbing the stairs, do not worry. This is also normal.
Here is a list of some indicators of elevated blood pressure:
- heaviness in the legs;
- varicosity;
- increased sexual attraction;
- headache;
- nosebleed;
- "Pinching" in the heart.
Next, we want to note that in the second part of the pregnancy the female body begins to intensively prepare for the forthcoming birth and related significant blood loss. That is why such an important organ as the kidneys, fundamentally changes its work. They begin to "store" salt and liquid, because the blood begins to curl up faster than before. This is all, of course, both good and bad. These reactions of the device can play a cruel joke with a female body called "gestosis". This late complication in pregnancy is a great deadly threat to both the mother and the future child.
As soon as you begin to notice that blood pressure rises without delay, take the necessary measures to keep it "within". Of course, you can forget about the old way of life. To give up on the water-salt balance will not work. It is strongly recommended that you sharply limit the intake of table salt from the twentieth week of pregnancy. So you will save yourself from swelling, increased blood pressure, preeclampsia, exfoliation of the placenta, premature birth and many other complications.
The second half of pregnancy is the time when AD requires special attention and careful observation. This is especially true for women, who often have low blood pressure. The fact is that you will not notice how the jump will happen, because you have never dealt with high blood pressure, especially since you do not expect it to appear in your home.
Thoroughly check your pressure, but not yourself ... It is important that it is constantly measured by that member of the family (friend, neighbor) who can do it systematically and will be more often than the rest next to you.
If you want to avoid hospitalization, try to gain less weight and avoid excessive swelling. These are formidable precursors of many problems, including a sharp increase in pressure. Well, if you still inevitably gain weight and swell swiftly, we advise immediately to sit on a salt-free diet.
Another threat, which carries a high pressure - a placenta infarction and its exfoliation. The placenta is a vascular organ, therefore all these terrible diagnoses can be inherent in it. These complications are deadly, and the worst - sudden, unpredictable, without precursors.
Consultation of the attending physician and individual selection of medicines is what requires the presence of high blood pressure during pregnancy. Pointing your attention to the preparations, we want to say that almost all of them are undesirable in the period of gestation. But if you have not saved yourself from such a disease as high blood pressure during pregnancy, then you will have to use medicines, whether you like it or not. Self-medication is strictly prohibited! Running yourself and your condition is extremely undesirable - because every minute counts. We hope that it is already clear: we refuse salt completely. The variant of the use of preparations of magnesium, calcium and sodium is possible. In fact, they have very few contraindications for pregnant women, respectively, are suitable for the prevention and treatment of elevated blood pressure. Although some of them can not do. That is why individual selection of medicines by the internal therapist (which leads pregnant women) is very important.
We return to the problem of self-treatment. Listening to the stories of mothers about the loss of teeth, hair, etc., some pregnant women convulsively begin to take calcium preparations, although there are no signs of a deficiency of this component in the body. Remember once and for all: a lot does not mean good! The results of supersaturation of the body with calcium:
- increased uterine tone (prenatal condition);
- increased blood pressure.
Lovely our future mothers, well, do not create yourself a heroic problem, then heroically solve them. Just control yourself - that's all.
If the pressure has already risen, it is necessary to measure daily, at the same time, the same person and the same instrument on both hands, taking into account the difference in the right and left. It is desirable to record the results in order to understand the reasons for its occurrence, the possible systematic nature.
Often such a diagnosis is threatened with hospitalization for the simple reason that it can cause unpredictable complications.
It's easier to warn than cure. It is much easier to prohibit yourself in time to consume salt than in other cases, lie on a hospital bed, getting a "gift" for laziness and poor character complication after a complication.
And finally ... If a woman who plans pregnancy, BP is increased or increased earlier, it is important to be prepared, and this is to ensure that there is a correct selection of constant therapy to maintain blood pressure norms. And the doctor's task is to correctly explain the essence of extreme measures in case of hypertensive crisis.
