A member asked:
Fluctuating blood pressures range from 130 to 200 systolic. recent onset of seizures. eeg came back normal. 4 months postpartum. can it be eclampsia?

No.: Eclampsia occurs during pregnancy, not afterward. New onset seizures requires investigation, including brain imaging (e.g., MRI). Rarely adrenal tumors can cause wildly fluctuating blood pressure. You need thorough medical assessment.
