What causes low blood pressure and high pulse rate during pregnancy?
Patient: I have an appointment with a cardiologist today but wanted to read up on what the problem could be. I have normally low blood pressure (100/60) and my pulse is normally between 60 and 70. I am in the 6th month of pregnancy and my blood pressure drops to 80/40 and my pulse shoots to 130-150 at times. It happens when I am not doing anything strenuous. Just walking around. Any ideas?
