Hi mum, I understand your worry but this one really needs your doctor's guidance, high BP in pregnancy is something to monitor closely, and only your doctor knows your full picture and why they chose this particular medicine for you. Please stick with what they prescribed and go back to them if you're experiencing any side effects or concerns, rather than relying on what other mums say we took. Every pregnancy is different, and what worked for one person might not be right for another. Wishing you all the best with your pregnancy.

Keeping your blood pressure under control is important because uncontrolled hypertension can be riskier for both mum and baby than the medication itself. I would keep taking as prescribed and let your doctor know if you experience severe dizziness, fainting, a very slow heartbeat, or if your BP remains high despite the medication. Hope it helps bring your readings down soon ❤️
