High Blood Pressure and Dry Mouth

in Pregnant after 35
Hello!  I'm 42 and due in December.  At my first appointment (at 8 weeks) my blood pressure was fine.  114/74.  But within 2 weeks I was in the ER with 191/118.  They have me on a mountain of medication for it now and it seems to be in control.  But now I have horrible dry mouth because of my medication.  It is terrible, because if I crave something it never tastes right when I finally eat it!  Anyone else dealing with HBP and dry mouth?  I just want my mouth to feel normal again.

    Some HBP meds do cause dry mouth. What kind are you on? I'm on Procardia and haven't had that problem but I did with others when I wasn't pregnant.
