Pregnant With Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Having Headache, Tiredness, Breathlessness. Protein Traces In Urine. Suggestions?
Hi I m 41 pregnant with hyperemesis gravidarum (same as 1st pregnancy 1 year ago). Managing to retain fluids but little diet . Feeling unwell most of the time but particularly so over last few days i.e. dull headache , tired, n&v worse, tired, bit breathless & strange sensation in my eyes when I look to the side but can t surely be dehydrated as I m pushing fluids & pu ing adequately. Should do my bp but difficult to do your own with sphyg. I have done a urinalysis dipstick today appears ok other than ph8, trace protein & specific gravity 1.01. Is this relevant?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As you are having symptoms due to dehydration better to consult gynecologist once.
Once go for urine ketone bodies, thyroid profile, ultrasound.
If your doctor suggests you better go for intravenous fluids.
Continue taking anti-emetics and antacids.
Take care.
