Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
As per your history your BP is marginally raised, but I could not find its values like 130/90 or so.
Increase albumin in urine is a matter of concern.
You need to get lab tests done --- CBC ,urine , Uric acid, creatinine,BUN, Liver function tests.
Also I will suggest you to start anti hypertensive drug like Alpha dopa or Nifedepine or Labetolol.
USG to know well being of the baby in terms of weight, amniotic fluid around,Biophysical score.
You can undergo normal delivery ---- if your BP is controlled by medicines, USG does not show any severe compromise for baby.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
