Postpartum preeclampsia/hbp

posted 12th Oct
I will be 8 weeks pp tomorrow, long story short i had my 3rd child, 23 years old and 115 pre pregnancy, iam 135 now and never had any issues during pregnancies or in life... I had bp of 170/110 3 days pp and was sent home, came back a week later to er and stay in hospital for a week, on procardia and labetalol, taken off meds 3 weeks pp, my bp has beeb better it was 135/83 this morning, and still having constant headachs, not throbbing anymore just dull and constant. More annoying than anything and this pregnancy was a first for epidural and pitocin, maybe those cause this? I had first two natural never had csections either... No csection with third but baby came wayyy to fast she ended up having left over fluid in her ears!! Just wondering when and if your bp came down back to normal? My bp is still eleaveted for my body... Could this be why the headachs? And my ears usually get flushed around 5oclock. I know its bp becuase in the er my bp was 210/115 and my entire face was red as a tomatoe :-/ i was also on mag but my body had to much or something and my bp was great! Untill i stood up :-/..... Im just scared and my doc is an idiot almost called texas health board on him for his lack of being a doctor!!!

The mag could be causing the higher weight from swelling and the epidural can be causing the headaches. Docs sometimes do a blood patch for acute headaches after an epidural. Ask your doc.
