Has anyone suffered with on and off high blood pressure and feeling dizzy, light headed and had heart palpitations? But its not been preeclampsia?
Ive had bloods done and they are normal.
Im 25 weeks and keep feeling poorly so i check my blood pressure and its high so i go to maternity triage and because it does go down they wont keep me in😴
Im fed up of feeling like this.

Is this something that’s happened before pregnancy? I had on and off high bp but mine was white coat syndrome.
Maybe speak with your gp and they can run some different tests.

I had this, they diagnosed hypertension and I’ve been on medication to control it the past couple weeks. The hospital, midwife and GP are now all involved. How high is your BP reading?
Mine hasn’t progressed to preeclampsia but I have to have weekly bloods & urine checks now. Since going on the medication it’s somewhat better but still feeling dizzy if I move too quickly🥴x

I was like this on and off for weeks and was diagnosed with preeclampsia at 38 weeks after about 4 weeks of my blood pressure being up and down

I had on and off high blood pressure in my first pregnancy, I had all the other symptoms of pre eclampsia too though and it did end up turning into this, my blood levels ended up being raised after not being listened too for weeks!! If something doesn't feel right keep going back and pushing for answers but keep an eye on how you feel, try not to stress and difficult as it is and take it easy!!

Have they talked about gestational hypertension at all?
This happened to me at the latter end of pregnancy.
Labetalol could help this.

Anxiety can cause all of these symptoms which will then raise your blood pressure
And then when you calm down it reduces
Constantly checking won't help x
