Could The Persistent Headache Indicate A Side Effect Of The Medicine?
Hi, I m sanchita frm Gwalior. Was detected with GD in my 29th week for which m put on strict diet and insulin. However, now at 32.5 weeks after taking betnesol inj. 12 mg twice the readings that were 75-90 fasting and 120-160 pp have gone upto 140 fasting and 190-280 pp. I also have persistent headache. Are these the side effects of the dose??? Also, due to diet control the feotus is underweight, ie 1670 at 32.5 weeks... Please advice.
