Pregnant women may experience an increase in maternal blood volume due to the growth and development of the fetus, and for some pregnant women, hypertension may occur during pregnancy. If the blood pressure during pregnancy is unstable and often remains at a high level, it can affect the health during pregnancy. So, what are the methods for pregnant women with hypertension?
1. Pregnant women with hypertension should first consider using non pharmacological therapies to adjust and stabilize blood pressure, as this has better safety for the fetus. Pregnant women need to use various methods such as dietary regulation, rest, and avoiding anger to alleviate symptoms of hypertension. When necessary, oxygen therapy can also be combined to alleviate vascular spasm and help improve hypertension.
2. If comprehensive conditioning such as dietary therapy, rest, and oxygen therapy cannot effectively improve hypertension in pregnant women, targeted use of antihypertensive drugs that can be used during pregnancy is needed for treatment. Because it cannot improve the symptoms of hypertension during pregnancy, it can cause abnormal fetal development and also affect maternal health.
3. Pregnant women who use medication to control blood pressure must follow medical advice, take antihypertensive drugs according to the correct dosage, and do not change the type and dosage of medication without authorization. At the same time, blood pressure should be measured daily to observe changes in blood pressure during pregnancy at any time. If unstable blood pressure is found during medication, seek medical attention promptly, and if necessary, be hospitalized for observation and treatment.
