Causes of hypertension during lactation

As people age, their organs will also fail. Due to long-term bad living habits, many people face symptoms of high blood pressure. Once they suffer from high blood pressure, they often experience symptoms such as panic and dizziness when the disease occurs. In severe cases, it may even affect the patient's cerebrovascular function. For breastfeeding mothers, if their blood pressure is abnormally high, they must not take it lightly. It is necessary to understand the cause of the high blood pressure.

What causes high blood pressure during postpartum breastfeeding?

First: renal factors, mainly due to some kidney diseases. Because the disease was not discovered before pregnancy and was stimulated during pregnancy, even though the pregnancy was over, the original disease still existed, so symptoms of high blood pressure naturally appeared.

Second: It is caused by the effects of drugs, mainly caused by the use of pressor drugs. It may be that heavy bleeding during childbirth caused the body's blood pressure to drop, which was caused by taking pressor drugs.

Third: It is caused by primary hypertension, which is mainly caused by the presence of hypertension before pregnancy, but it has not been manifested. Because this kind of hypertension is more easily stimulated after pregnancy, it will manifest after delivery.

The precautions are mainly caused by excessive fatigue, mental stress, lack of sleep, etc., so you must maintain a good mood during the confinement period. After giving birth, you must be careful not to have big mood swings, and your family should also pay attention to the changes in the mother's mind.
