Why my bp is high150/100 even taking bp pill after c-section due to a week before sudden preclampsia at 32 weeks gave birth at 33 weeks before no bp?

Pregnancy related: You do not indicate when you delivered but if it was less than three months the elevated BP is likely related to the pre-eclampsia. It can take several months for the BP to normalize after having developed pre-ecalmpsia. The fact that you delivered at 33 weeks suggests that you BP was quite high and may even have been almost out of control. Be patien and continue your BP medication.

Preeclampsia : High blood pressure from preeclampsia can develop suddenly in the third trimester. It may take weeks or months for your BP to return to normal. Sometimes women who get preeclampsia will end up with chronic hypertension, but most cases ultimately resolve.
