Hello, Thanks for your query. With little information its difficult to come to a conclusion. You didnt mention the type of heart disease?. You probably had a SEVERE PRE-ECLAMPSIA associated with HYPERTENSIVE EMERGENCY. Why you had hypotension cannot be assessed with little clinical information.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups. Wish you good health. Regards, Dr Arif You can consult me again directly through my profile http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-arif-n-khan/65133
Hi, It appears you may have been suffering from pre-eclampsia and this led to your baby needing urgent delivery. Epidural anesthesia can sometimes lower the blood pressure. With low blood pressure you can feel faint and at a blood pressure of 70/30 this could have been the case. It would be difficult to comment on whether you nearly died with only a few details. However, a blood pressure at this level would not necessarily be very serious unless other factors were involved. Regards, Dr K A Pottinger MBChB FRCA
