Anxiety and High BP Meds

Does anyone here take meds for PPA and high BP while breastfeeding? I am already on BP medication, but after 9 months, I’m finally considering medication for PPA. I believe my anxiety is the cause of my hypertension at this point. I don’t know what to do, but I know I cannot continue going the way I’ve been going. I’m not typically someone who takes medication so it all makes me even more…well…anxious.

Maybe try a holistic route first…

I recommend Calm magnesium.

I went to the doctors recently and my heart rate and BP was high for the first time since childbirth. I started seeing a naturopath and she recommended that I get my Thyroid panel done. Apparently thyroid issues can cause high BP, heart rate and anxiety. I also have had a heightened sense of anxiety since giving birth. I am going to try the natural route before going on medication. Right now doing acupuncture and cupping to start. Feel free to msg me if you want more info. Glad I’m not alone with this.

and thank you for the recommendation. I’ll keep this in mind if the magnesium doesn’t work.
