I am 26 years old, and for the past four years, I have been experiencing increasingly worse health problems. At age 22 my blood pressure was mildly high, and has now gotten to the point to where I am on meds for it. Since my pregnancy with my daughter(who is now 2) I have been experiencing pain problems with my hands, knees, feet, fingers, back, and shoulders, and problems with breathing. I sound weezy ALL DAY LONG, and have problems breathing... I wake myself up at night from the sounds I make.... My main concern is my blood pressure, why do I have it? Can there been underlying health issues that cause my blood pressure to get so high, and could my breathing problems be why? I just recently got health insurance, should there be key questions that I need to ask my doctor to get some action to find out?(sorry I know this is a LONG question )
Hello, thanks for using our platform. I understand how worried you are about your health issues. Hopefully, you will be fine. It is not uncommon for some women to develop hypertension during pregnancy. Especially among women that smokers, overweight, have family history of hypertension etc. When the hypertension is not treated properly it develops into a chronic hypertension.  I advise you to see a physician for physical checkup, this is the only way to know what exactlmight be causing your symptoms. Warm regards
