HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DURING PREGNANCYMany
women who otherwise have normal blood pressure develop
an increase in the blood pressure (140/90& above)during
pregnancy. Along with an increase in the blood pressure is usually found
swelling of the body especially the feet & also presence of proteins
in the urine. The cause is not known & since it can cause complications
to the mother as well as the fetus, prevention is the best cure.
Hence regular visits to the gynaecologist as per advise are a must during
pregnancy so that the problem can be detected & treated at it's earliest
stages. Complications could be in the form of convulsions
or excessive bleeding during labor or even coma, while in case of the
fetus it could lead to intrauterine death, premature baby, suffocation
of the fetus & insufficient growth of the fetus. Treatment should
begin as soon as the pressure approaches 140/90. It consists of
complete bed rest, salt restriction & increase of protein intake in
the diet, besides medicines. As far as medicines are concerned, most gynaecologists
prefer not to start blood pressure lowering drugs unless the lower reading
reaches 110 & above when it becomes absolutely necessary to start
them. This is to avoid the harmful effects of the medication to both the
mother & the fetus. Here homeopathy if started in the initial
stages, could avoid the need for blood pressure lowering drugs altogether.
Common homeopathic medicines / remedies for pregnancy induced high blood pressure are: Acetic acid, Apocynum, Arsenic alb, Helonias, Kali carb, Kali chlor, Phosphorus, Thlapsi bursa pestoris etc. |
