What Causes Dizziness And Puffy Face With High BP During Pregnancy?
I an 36 yrs old and am 36.5 wks pregnant. I am feeling dizzy at times today. I just took Tylenol for a significant headache- my last two bp readings were 142/86 pulse 96 & 150/77 pulse 86. I am drinking water and lying down. My face is a bit puffy the past two days as well. Do I need to be concerned about my bp or the dizziness? If I need to watch for any changes, what things specifically do I need to watch for? Today is sat so I do not want to call my ob/on call ob if I can help it. Thank you.

WELCOME
HIGH BP IS NOT GOOD SIGN IN PREGNANCY..DIZZINESS OR PUFFY FACE, HEADACHE CAN BE DURE TO HIGH B.P
DONT WAIT...CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
HEADACHE, DIFFICULT VISION , OR EPIGASTRIC PAIN ARE SUGGESTIVE OF PREECLAMPSIA...GET YOUR URINE PROTEIN DONE...IF ITS MORE THAN 2 WITH HIGH BP ,ITS PREECLAMPSIA AND REQUIRES IMMEDIETE TREATMENT..
KEEP WATCH ON FETAL MOVEMENT...DO DOPPLER FOR BABY GRWTH..
THANKS
