how high was your bp? i can see where you might feel like this was a knee-jerk reaction. please add any of your bp readings if you know them- i’ll check back to see if i can add any helpful info- also, add the dose and frequency of the medication that they prescribed

I have a heart condition and took this during my last pregnancy adn this pregnancy. For me though I have to take ACE inhibitors when not pregnant. Thsi time it's way too much and this is mylast pregnancy. I also take Aldomet for the blood pressure. It's a bit odd though that she took it only one time and then prescribed it. Check it yourself at home. Yu can get a blood pressure cuff forlike 20 at a pharmacy, like walgreens or cvs. Check it at random times. You should be aiming fr 120/80. Lay on your left side and when you're resting. Hope this helps.
