Is High Blood Pressure During Second Trimester Of Pregnancy Harmful?
Hi I m 21 weeks pregnant. I just got back from Mexico, when I got off the plane my feet were very swollen. They re still a bit swollen today so I took my blood pressure using one of those automatic machines. It was 140/81, I took it again right after and it was 135/72. Is this bad? Is there something I should do? My blood pressure is normally in the optimal range

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you do not have any associate medical condition like cardio-vascular disease, renal pathology, lungs disease then it is nothing to worry because such swelling then could be due to circulation disturbances and this could be possibly happening with continue sitting position hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day,
