What is the treatment for shortness of breath and nausea?
Patient: Hi. I am 33 weeks and 4 days pregnant. for 4 days I have had a headache and have felt a little short of breath and nauseous. I worried I may have high blood pressure but had my father check with his blood pressure thingy and it was very low...78 over 49. The thing is he is a large man and the cuff is large, not sure if this would be a problem with the results. I see my OB on Thursday, should I make a sooner appt. or  are headaches like this common in later pregnancy. Is low blood pressure a serious concern? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern.Yes, you should definitely make sooner appointment with your gynecologist.Hypotension in pregnancy is very serious if not treated.And your symptoms like headache, breathing difficulty, nausea are also symptoms of hypotension.So consult your gynecologist as soon as possible.You will need blood reports and Intravenous fluid for hypotension.Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
