Suggest Remedy For Low Bp, Shortness Of Breath And Bloating During Pregnancy

I am 33, weigh 133, am 5' 5 1/2''. I have had protein present in my urine for my last four prenatal appts. (since 19weeks gestation. now at 28 weeks) My BP has been at it's highest 106/52 but has been 92/64, 94/62 or close, most other times during this pregnancy. No prior history of preeclampsia. Doc says no worries and there is nothing to be done. he will watch it. I also get short of breath. Am sensitive to light. Tire easily. Feel foogy headed. Prior to and during this pregnancy have had a lot of bloating. Is there anything I can do to make sure this doesn't progress?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1.First of all do not panic about protein in urine.
It is significant if 24 hours urine protein estimation is 3 grams per day or more.
2.You need to take adequate protein intake per day, 1.5 gram per kg body weight per day; you can achieve it through diet, and supplementation.
3.Blood pressure values are normal.
4. Please check hemoglobin levels, low Hb can cause you breathlessness.
Else get a check up done from internal medicine doctor.
5. For your other symptoms ; Please get thyroid function tests done.
Low TSH values - hypothyroidism can cause bloating or foggy headed feel.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
