During pregnancy, women are prone to suffer from some pregnancy diseases, such as pregnancy diabetes, pregnancy hypertension, etc., so pregnant women must pay attention to blood sugar and blood pressure at ordinary times. And after giving birth, it is also important to pay attention to controlling blood sugar and blood pressure. So, how to lower postpartum blood pressure in preeclampsia?
For patients with preeclampsia, they should not take it lightly after giving birth. This is because postpartum blood pressure may also exceed the standard, and even lead to postpartum eclampsia. Patients with preeclampsia should continue to monitor their blood pressure after delivery in order to understand their normal blood pressure status before taking appropriate measures.
If a woman's postpartum blood pressure is above 140/90, she should take oral antihypertensive medication. However, postpartum women should be careful not to take antihypertensive drugs on their own, in order to avoid insufficient or excessive medication. They should consult a doctor to prescribe some antihypertensive drugs that do not affect breastfeeding.
Under normal circumstances, women's blood pressure should return to normal levels around 6 weeks postpartum. If postpartum blood pressure continues to rise, it is necessary to be vigilant, as it is likely that gestational hypertension has transformed into chronic hypertension. So everyone should go to the cardiology department of the hospital for a detailed examination and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. They should also pay attention to blood pressure regulation in their daily lives.
