Due Date Club December 2007:High blood pressure
2007-08-21
Name: shweta



Hi all,

I m 22 weeks preg. My blood pressure is high it is 130/90. I am worried. My doc suggested me to minimize the salt intake. I m taking care of this but is this sufficient. As I am working I have to sit for long hours on a chair. My legs are getting swollen frequently. Kindly suggest me what to do.

Thanks
Shweta

The best would be drinking alot of water and Ofcourse less or no salt intake. The best excercise is to sleep on the floor and raise your legs up for 10 mins before going to bed. You can take the support of a wall or a bed. This helps to reduce pressure on the legs.

hi shweta,
High BP is a regular/commom issue.
Drink lots of water and fluids like coconut water, as much as possible. Keep your legs raised on a small stool or chair while at work.Take break from work every 20-30 mts and take a walk . By take care.
