High blood pressure post birth?!
Has anyone had issues with high blood pressure? My baby was born in January this year and I went back to hospital a week post birth with high blood pressure and was put on medication however got off it a couple weeks later as it was normal again! Now I have just got my period 7 weeks post birth and have been feeling weird with headaches, short of breath just did my blood pressure and it’s high again. My dr said if this happens again to take the medication again but im so worried and anxious about all of it 😭😭 will it go back to normal!?

Same here, my blood pressure came high 4 weeks pp, have been on meds last 2 weeks. BP is back to normal for now. Doctor suggested to monitor the BP and reduce the dose over next week and then stop it completely if BP stays normal.

Heya! I experienced pretty much the same as you mentioned, for me 1 week post birth I was feeling unwell, dizzy, headaches and had high blood pressure when on medication for 4-5 weeks and now off it (as recommended by my GP/OB), currently it seems to have gone back to normal.
