I was diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension today and I have to go see a cardiologist tomorrow
At all my appointments my blood pressure has been running a little high (diastolic in the 90's) and at my last one they found a little protein in my urine so I have been a little nervous! Before pregnancy I always had trouble with anxiety (but never my bp) and my heart racing but it seems to be happening more now. I took my bp at work last night out of curiosity and it was 140/97 ![]()
Has anyone else been diagnosed with this yet?
Re: PIH
I haven't been diagnosed with PIH yet, but my Dr.is planning to take me out of work at 20 weeks to be on bedrest, I have already seen the cardiologist and I am taking bp medication (labetalol). I monitor my bp twice a day and so far its been okay. Not great, but okay. At my last appointment my bp was 140/80. No protein in my urine. I am taking it one day at a time. Try not to get too nervous and know you are not alone.
Good Luck!
