Brief Answer:
Precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX , thanks for trusting Health Care Magic.
I have seen all your reports and glad to inform you that all your reports are normal and only important thing now is blood pressure control.
In general if blood pressure rises above 160/110 then there is high risk of bleeding, fetal death and maternal seizures.
But this is an extreme situation which is not a concern in your case where blood pressure is not very high and will be in control easily by simple medicines.
You can discuss with your gynaecologist for blood pressure control drugs commonly used like labetalol and methyldopa as these are safe for both mother and baby.
Take certain precautions like -
- decrease your salt intake as much as possible
- increase water intake
- daily walk
- always lie on side and never straight on back.
Also your blood sugar is on higher side so take less of sugar and avoid candies and chocolates.
Take care
Regards
Dr Manisha
