I am a 31 year old female who just had her third baby a little over 3 weeks ago. I weighed 155 pre pregnancy and am now down to 162. I am 5 6 and am nursing my baby exclusively. I have never had any problems with my blood pressure except when I was pregnant with my first child it was on the high end during pregnancy but went back to normal as soon as she was born. I had normal blood pressure with this pregnancy and even in the hospital following his delivery and I stayed over 48 hours because of testing positive for group b strep before delivering. Once I returned home I started having a headache. I attributed this to a hormone headache and waited for it to go away but it didn t. After a week of a headache. I called my ob and he told me to get my blood pressure checked. It was 215/148 at a Pharmacy and 186/118 at an urgent care that night. I saw my Dr. In the morning and had a bp of 150/100 and he put me on 500 mg Methlydopa twice a day and to come back in two weeks. I came back a little over 1 week after experiencing horrible headaches. My blood pressure was 148/100 that morning in his office. He put me on double the dosage of Methlydopa and added 2 pills 2 times a day of Labetolol as well as 500 mg of Magnesium 3 times a day. I have been doing this for 2 days now and I have not seen a significant drop in blood pressure. It is still high. They have tested me for post eclampsia, but all my tests came out perfect. I was tested for red and white cell count and thyroid function and they call came out clean as well. Any suggestions?
