I will tell you a little bit about blood pressure. The top number is the pressure against the walls of the veins and arteries when your heart is working at it's hardest and it shouldn't be above 140. The bottom number is when that same pressure is at rest and it shouldn't be above 90. I always have problems with my bp while pregnant. With my last one, I had someone tell me to try taking some garlic supplements and it worked. If you go to the vitamin section of just about any store you will find the garlic pills there. Almost all of them say odor free, but you will start to smell kind of like garlic after awhile. Just make sure you use anti-antiperspirant deodorant on all areas that get sweaty and it should keep the odor at bay. And it is garlic so it is safe or else every Italian on the planet would be messed up...lol. You need to take like 3 a day for it to be effective though.My Blood Pressure is 120/90 in 29th Week of pregnancy. Do you know how to control it?
That is excellent blood pressure- not sure what you are trying to control....
Make sure you drink plenty of water and rest as needed.
Sometimes the diastolic may come a little higher in case of tension, smoking, any other condition, restlessness, and a number of other factors.
A single BP reading should never be considered diagnostic. Your diastole is a little higher than it should be, but taking your BP reading as a whole, it is unlikely significant.My Blood Pressure is 120/90 in 29th Week of pregnancy. Do you know how to control it?
If it stays high, your doctor may need to put you on medications. Some things you can try at home are: swimming - or at least getting into water up to your neck can lower your blood pressure. Problem is you can't live there, but it wouldn't hurt to take a soak or two every day if you can. (Not HOT water, but comfortable).
2) The Brewers Diet. http://www.drbrewerpregnancydiet.com/ind鈥?/a> Dr. Brewer has had many women successfully drop or prevent high blood pressure in pregnancy. Many midwives use it on their clients with great success as well. Study it, and if it looks like a plan get started right away. You don't have much time to get it down before it is dangerous.
Don't stress, think positive thoughts, and mediate every day while imagining your blood pressure slowly dropping.
First of all no that is NOT an excellent blood pressure..the top number is fine but the bottom number is fairly high. I've been dealing with high blood pressure since 9 weeks and my doctor said if the bottom number ever gets to 90 or beyond to call in and let her know. You should contact your doctor and he/she might want you to come in. If you already saw your doctor about it and are monitoring it at home then when you notice it gets up there try laying on your left side and that will usually bring it down...if not they may need to put you on meds!
Take plenty of calcium and potassium. My doctor put me on 2000 mg. of calcium per day with 1000 mg. of magnesium.
I HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DURING MY SECOND PREGNANCY AND THE DOCTOR TOLD ME TO LAY ON MY LEFT SIDE AND IT WORKS. AND MAKE SURE YOUR NOT EATING A LOT OF SALTY FOODS
