Suggest Medication For BP Level Upto 150/80's And Edema

I am 32 wks pregnant and BP usually runs 120's/60's and has all throughout pregnancy until recently. Now BP is 150's/80's, I have 4+ pitting edema and also facial/hand edema, some dizziness at times and overall just feel rotten but nothing specific. My MD wasn't too concerned about by BP when it was 140's/80's last week, my weight was up 11# in the past few weeks. Should I be concerned?

Dear Mrs,

I would advise you to have urine analyse done and serum creatinine. If you have edemas kidney function should be tested to avoid preeclampsia or eclampsia. After the analyses the treatment decision should be done.

Take care
