Some medications, especially decongestants, raise your blood pressure, so it's possible.

How do you deal with pre-eclampsia?

The best way to deal with pre-eclampsya is to target the cause, which is probably high blood pressure. If you can get your blood pressure under control the symptoms will significantly decrease. If you are 38 weeks pregnant or more, the best way to get rid of pre-eclampsya is to deliver!


What could be the cause of dizziness at 26 weeks pregnant?

Almost anything. The only times I have ever fainted in my life were when I was 28-30 weeks with my first. Once I was standing in warm sun and about 10 days later I was at a lunch party, also very warm. Get your blood pressure checked but it is probably no cause for concern.

What should a child's blood pressure be?

Blood pressure is how hard the blood is flowing against the walls of blood vessels in the body. It is good to be asking about normal blood pressure values for children because most people think "high" blood pressure (hypertension) is something that only happens to adults. This is hardly the case, as about 5 percent of children have it, too. High blood pressure often does not cause any symptoms in children, but if not treated, it can cause serious health problems in the future. While I cannot answer your question exactly, the numbers do not change that much from year to year. In fact, blood pressure and heart rate in older children are not that much different from adult values. For boys and girls around your children's ages, normal blood pressures would be around 110 to 120 (systolic) over 70 to 80 (diastolic), and heart rates would range from 50 to 180. Having a blood pressure above these normal values on one occasion does not necessarily mean that a child has high blood pressure. Before a child is said to have high blood pressure, the readings would need to be high on three separate occasions, a few days or even weeks apart.


How can you go from nose bleeds a sign of high blood pressure to fainting a sign of low blood pressure within the space of 2 weeks?

If your nose bleeds were a sign of high blood pressure you most likely saw a medical provider. They probably put you on blood pressure lowering medication and this medication may have dropped the pressure to low. There are also things that will spike a blood pressure really high such as cocaine and certain medical conditions (pheochromocytoma) I'm only 19 but my parents have high and low blood pressure, my mum's low blood pressure causes her to feel faint, she works for the nhs and pointed out when i was younger (because i would get nose bleeds weekly) that i may have high blood pressure like my dad. I've only had my bloodpressure checked twice once it was very low, my friend who is studying biology did it, and the other time it was normal, that time a nurse did it. I also dont do any drugs and i dont have any medical conditions that would cause this


Can falling continuosly cause you lose your baby at 23 weeks pregnant?

If you have a problem with the blood pressure and it's so bad you can't stand on your legs you need to see your doctor. Many women pass out from low blood pressure during pregnancy but all ends fine. If this is a way to ask for a experimental way to abort you are barking up the wrong, and potential dangerous, tree.


Can extreme anger or sadness raise your blood pressure?

Extreme anger or sadness has the potential to raise your blood pressure. Often these emotions are associated with stressful situations, and because stress usually raises your blood pressure, these emotions could result in a higher blood pressure. However, if you are experiencing these emotions for more than two weeks you need to consult a physician. And as always, ask a licensed medical doctor about these questions to make sure the answer is correct.
