A member asked:

How do i lower bp after pregnancy? already on meds. and why is it still up? no pre eclampsia but bp did start to creep up at end.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tincture of Time: Persistent hypertension is fairly common after delivery with pregnancy induced hypertension. It usually resolves after pregnancy. How soon is somewhat variable; anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months. Stay on your medications and keep your appointments. When your blood pressure starts to drop, your doc will probably take you off blood-pressure medications. Best wishes!
