What Causes Shivering And Hot Flushes During 23rd Week Of Pregnancy?
I am 23 weeks pregnant and I was in the hospital because I was shaking and my heat was pounding a mile a minute. The hospital told me my blood pressure was high and that he said I had a caffeine overdoes. It was very odd considering I had no caffeine for that too occur. As of today, I had a feeling to get my blood pressure checked in a pharmacy and it came out too 155 over 82. I have also been very swollen in my feet. I feel like i am full of fluid already. what should I do?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the BP needs to be checked 6 hours apart on the same day .If both readings are high then it indicates gestational hypertension.I suggest you to do urine for any albumin as if proteinuria is there it indicates preeclampsia.Dont worry .Take high protein diet and with apt treatment it subsides.
