10 Preeclampsia Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Hypertension
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is one of the most telling symptoms of preeclampsia. High blood pressure can even strike women who have had no issues with blood pressure in the past. If you’re worried about your blood pressure and want to check it consistently, you can buy your own blood pressure checker at many pharmacies. If you don’t want to spend the cash, most pharmacies also offer a free blood pressure testing device.
It’s best to ensure that you’re in the same position and that you take your blood pressure at the same time of day. This ensures the most accurate readings. Blood pressure fluctuates quite a bit so you want to make sure that you’re testing yourself while at rest.
