Almost none: Rarely mild headaches and pop up noises in your ear. Mostly you dont feel a thing, thats why is really important to keep your appt with your ob/gyn and have your blood pressure checked every appointment.

Sx of Gest HTN: Usually there are none and it sneaks up on you. The only way to pick it up is to have your BP measured regularly by your team. Like non-preg HTN it is silent until advanced. So you want to have it picked up early with BP and urine protein testing. This type of HTN is a major cause of material and fetal morbidity and mortality (death). Keep a close eye on it. May your pressure be low!
