Women facing high level of blood pressure during pregnancy are comparatively at an elevated risk of stroke or other heart problems later in their lives, a new study published in the Journal of American Society of Nephrology states.
Before coming up with these findings, researchers went through the data of almost 5,000 women and found that about half of the women who had high blood pressure during pregnancy also had it again in their 50s. Moreover, such women were more prone to stores or heart attacks.
Therefore, it is better to keep a check on blood pressure level, especially during pregnancy and for that don’t hesitate to have counsel of a gynecologist.
