Blood Pressure
Hi everyone,
Some of u mite remember that I posted bout 1half weeks ago bout my high blood pressure and been refered str8 to obstertricians as a result. Unfortunatley iv not got my appt til fri but in the mean time my bp has plumetted, to the point where im dizzy and have blurred vision in my rite eye. Everyone keeps telling me to get bac 2 the dr's (had bp checked @ chemist 99/60 both times) but i think that im been a bit of a hypercondriac, has anyone experienced anything similar, coz iv never suffered will low bp just high! k x

Low blood pressure isn't such a concern but you do have to be careful about feeling dizzy etc and make sure you are eating properly to help with this. My blood pressure is normally 100/60 and it has fallen as low as 90/65 during this pregnancy but my midwife has just asked if I am feeling ok and told me to be aware of the fact I may feel faint at times.
I would say to get checked out though as it is a big change to go from having high blood pressure to low blood pressure. May be nothing at all to worry about but as the others say thats what your GP and midwife are there for. xx

The dizziness is horrible isn't it, but like everyone says it's best to get up slowly and eat little and often.
Good luck hun
As far as complications with pregnancy and blood pressure, I guess it's better to be low than high. Good luck kerry.
