What Could Heart Murmur And High Bp Suggest During Pregnancy?

i m 18 and pregnant. i have always have slight heart cramps for the past couple years. my mother has a heart murmur and other heart problems, including a recent heart attack. well, a couple days ago i felt like my heart cramped up really bad and i couldn t breathe. i went to the er and when they took my vitals, my blood pressure was really high, which has never been a problem. well, i waited for a long time and finally left because the doctors were taking HOURS, so i never got any answers. so does anyone know what s going on?

HI,
I understand your concern.
Blood pressure tends to raise in pregnancy when .. there is high blood pressure history in family, high blood pressure patients, urinary infections, sever physical/ psychological stress.
In your case.. there is family history, you you are predisposed to such symptoms specially in pregnancy. It may recede back to normal after delivery/ continues to be high.
But this is not a point to be concerned, on the other hand psychological stress increases the chances of having raised blood pressure. The wise way is to be in touch with your gynecologist regularly/ get investigated & examined regularly & take medicines prescribed regularly.
An ideal life style with healthy nourishing diet , restricted salts/ regular walking exercise & yoga exercises with Pranayama ( respiratory exercises) & meditation help a lot.
Thanks.
