I also had high BP during my pregnancy and was on medication, the most common side effects are feeling a bit dizzy, tired, or lightheaded especially when you stand up too fast, so just take it slow when getting up from sitting or lying down position. Just make sure you take it consistently as prescribed and monitor your BP regularly at home if you can, and always update your gynae on how you are feeling because managing high BP in pregnancy is really important to protect both you and baby, you are in good hands lah, trust your doctor!
