Suggest Treatment For PET With Low Blood Pressure During Pregnancy

Hi, I m 32 years old, I m 5ft7 and weigh about 128lbs, although I m about 138 now since I m little over 6 months pregnant. This is my second pregnancy (first one was in 2008 and had no complications). Since my first trimester I ve been suffering from PET (patulous eustachian tube). In the beginning I was still able to control my condition because I knew what could trigger it (like fatigue, certain activities, etc), but unfortunately for the past 3 weeks it s changed for the worse and I ve been having PET constantly throughout the day with now relief, unless I lay completely flat on my bed, which I can t always do having a 2-yr old boy jumping around me all day. With my first pregancy I only started having PET around my 8th month and it wasn t constantly, I could easily control it so it didn t control my life like it does this time around. Although I ve read a lot about PET and I know that the tissue around the ET can soften during pregnancy causing it to open up, I was still wondering if low blood pressure could have anything to do with it, too. I ve always had low bp and now that I m pregnant I lack a lot of energy and I m always out of breath. My bp is about 100/50. I know that before, being tired was one of the triggers for my ET to open up. Anyway, even though I can rest assured that this annoying problem will go away in 3 months after I give birth, I still would love to get some relief now, because it s driving me crazy. Is there anything I can do to get my bp to go up? Not only to see if my PET would go away, but also to get more energy. Thank you for your time.

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not worry.

2 ) I will suggest you to practice breathing exercises. Indian traditional technique of pranayam will be of help.

3 ) Also try to avoid precipitating events. Avoid cold water and cold beverages . Use of vitamin C tablets 500 mg twice a day for ten days will be of help.

I hope this answer helps you.
Wish you a healthy pregnancy.
Thanks
