Hello, I am suffering from high blood pressure. I am a 33 years old female. Four months back I delivered the baby via c-section. I used to have frequent headaches and felt dizzy at times. Is it common to get high blood pressure after a c-section?

@aadhya-0 Hello, yes it is possible to get hypertension after delivering the baby. Postpartum preeclampsia is a condition that can happen after childbirth. This rare condition will cause the woman to have high blood pressure and high levels of protein in her urine. If you haven’t consulted a doctor then you should seek immediate medical care. Postpartum preeclampsia can have serious consequences if not treated. It is treated by Blood pressure medicine to lower your pressure levels.
