Question 3

how come i have high blood pressure after having a baby?

Accepted Answer

Preeclampsia?: Some women get preeclampsia after delivery, this involves high bp. Also, if you received a lot of IV fluids with delivery, your pressure could remain high for a few days or more. When this happens, I use diuretics to help get rid of fluid. Regardless, you have to pay attention to this, and you should work with your doctor to control your pressure. Baby needs you healthy.

Question 4

why might someone have high blood pressure after having a baby?

There might be other causes either related or unrelated to pregnancy.  BP whenever elevated significantly (more than 140/90) needs evaluation and to be controlled.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Could be: For a very specific type of hypertension spironolactone would be more or less the "drug of choice".  Generally it is not the mainstay of hypertensive management.  Other diuretics such as hydrochlorothizide or Chlorthalidone are used.  Spironolactone is usually used for the treatment of congestive heart failure and cirrhosis.  It can cause high potassium levels.  In conn's disease it would be good.
