A pregnant woman's body undergoes hormonal changes that seriously affect her well-being. One of the most common complaints is headache associated with decreased blood pressure in pregnant women.
Signs of low blood pressure are weakness, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, tinnitus, blurred vision, fainting, feeling of lack of oxygen.
Normal blood pressure in a pregnant woman ranges from 140/90 to 90/60, normal pressure fluctuations of up to 10 percent are permissible. If the blood pressure indicators have fallen below the second indicator, action must be taken.
In no case should you use medications to increase blood pressure without a doctor's prescription. For example, Eleutherococcus extract not only stabilizes low blood pressure, but also increases the tone of the uterus.
To increase low blood pressure, it is better to use folk remedies that have a milder effect. Among them are strong sweet tea with lemon, parsley, tomato juice, weak coffee, chocolate.
To stabilize blood pressure, it is necessary to observe the mode of work and rest, eat balanced, rest more, and walk in the fresh air.
Most pregnant women do not consider a decrease in blood pressure dangerous, but the consequences of its fall are impaired blood circulation in the placenta, slowing down the access of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. Low blood pressure can also be a symptom of dangerous diseases (stomach ulcer, thyroid and adrenal insufficiency), allergic reactions, infections. Therefore, a drop in blood pressure must be reported to the attending physician.
