So, I was trying to avoid this but the doctor decided to prescribe me a medicine to manage my blood pressure. I honestly feel my pressure is elevated when I get to the doctors office. I have a BP cuff and will monitor it myself but I really didn't want to start medications, esp now being pregnant. I know the doc says the one she prescribed is completely safe while pregnant but the idea just makes me nervous. It may level out as this second trimester professes...but I was definitely stressed about having to go on meds, which doesn't make things better for BP. I exercise, don't eat much salt (simply bc I was educated about sodium intake at a young age), my BMI is where it should be...but w that said the doc says it can simply be genetics (father was taking meds for BP) or pregnancy...I was told not to worry and relax.. anyone experiencing or have gone through this situation?
