Pre-eclampsia Posted: 01-17-05 16:41pm
Do you have too "have" to have high blood
pressure too have pre-eclampsia, or is it
just a sympton?
I have
- bad headache
- seeing fast moving flashing white spots
- pain under my ribs
- nose bleed
- and swelling in my hands face and
feet/lower legs.
Should I wait until morning, or should I
get checked out straight away.
Its 9:40pm here.

Call your doc now. You can't tell if you
have high blood pressure (meaning you
don't feel any diff when it's high).

cab? I hope you go.

It is time to get checked. If nothing
else, go to a pharmacy or grocery store
where they have the blood pressure meassur
machines. If your pressure is above
135-140 (first number) or 85-90 (2nd
number), call the hospital or your ob/gyn
right away.
High blood pressure is one of the signs of
pre-ecclampsia, but not the only one.
You should get a urine test to see if you
are leaking proteins through your kidneys
as well.
