Postpartum pre-eclampsia
Hello Everyone! I delivered my first this weekend, a beautiful baby boy and was found to have postpartum pre-eclampsia as we were about to leave at 48 hours. I instead got magnesium for 24 hours. My blood pressures were great but then rebounded high after the magnesium was stopped. I had to stay another night to titrate up an oral antihypertensive, nifedipine. Anyone else taking this medication and struggling with side effects like headache, dizziness etc? If so, do the symptoms improve after a few days or are they just something you have to manage while your blood pressure is controlled?
While I'm glad the medication is working for my blood pressures it would be great to know what to expect with these side effects. Thanks in advance for any insight!
