protein levels

sbrayxo

I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing hypertension and tachycardia since 18 weeks. I have had two different 24 hour urine tests performed and while the protein level is not high enough to diagnose preeclampsia it has more than doubled since the first 24 hour urine test I had done only 3 weeks ago. I also have frequent migraines and see flashing spots. Should this not raise a red flag to my OB?

Go to your doctor with your questions to get a clear understanding of why they don't seem to be concerned. You can usually call this into a nurse and they will get back with you. If you aren't happy with the response or don't trust that you're receiving adequate care from your doctor, you should seek a second opinion and look to change doctors before delivery. I'm sorry I can't help more than that!
