Is It Safe To Walk In Hot Weather Conditions With A Swollen Ankle And Elevated BP?
I am 34 weeks pregnant. Taking Makenna injections for a hydroxyprogesterone. This is my second pregnancy. With my first indelivered at a little over 34 weeks for a bit of background it was due to preeclampsia. My blood pressure at my last appointment was 132/80 and I have minor ankle swelling. Would it be safe to go to a local event that would involve a lot of walking in 80 degree weather?

Hi,
It is the history of preeclampsia and pregnancy right now so great care need to be taken, slight ankle swelling is okay and it is the part of pregnancy, even blood pressure reading seems to be within normal limit only thing is it has to be read or measured by doctor or gynecologist.
It is better and advisable to avoid such event which may not be compatible like going for long walks in 80 degree weather.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Akhtar Husain
