General & Family Physician, Dr. Olgeta Xhufka 's Response

Hello,

You should continue to take nifedipine and colchicine. The pregnancy-related high blood pressure can get to normal in after postpartum recovery period. I also recommend you to do a thyroid hormone balance because you may have hyperthyroidism causing these symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
