One of the leading causes of pregnancy-related maternal and foetal
morbidity and mortality globally
is still hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). In addition to the usual hazards associated with
cardiovascular disease, affected women also have an elevated chance of developing cardiovascular
disease later in life.
Symptoms of danger include severe headaches, visual abnormalities including flashes of light or
fuzzy vision, and upper abdominal pain. It's crucial to regularly check your blood pressure
during
pregnancy. There is a chance that pregnancy will make your blood pressure worse if it already is.
When a previously normotensive person experiences elevated blood pressure during pregnancy, it is
known as pre-eclampsia. Though it can occasionally occur in the third trimester, during labour, or
after birth, this usually occurs in the second trimester. Such people may also experience protein
leakage through their urine. Aspirin and blood pressure drugs to regulate elevated blood pressure
are the standard therapy administered.
