<s>[INST] I am 35 and female, not quite 5ft and 8st in weight. I was diagnosed with high bp 4 years ago and placed on Ramipril 5m a day this kept my bp normal. In the past 3 week I have come off them as my husband and I would like another child. In the first week of coming off them my bp only rose slighlty, in the past two weeks I have had readings around 180/110 and 170/100. The nurse has advised me not to exercise and to see them next week. I have in the past various tests on my heart ECGs are relatively normal just showing tachacardia and my heart valves leak which sre quite trivial. I do wonder what causes my high bp, it's not in my family, I was born 6 weeks early in 1975 could this be a cause? I have had die tersts on my kidneys and ultra sounds and they appear normal. My questions are really how dangerous are these bp readings? Is there any medication I can take when I am pregnant and what could be the cause of my high bp? Thank you [/INST] Hi,If you had bgh blood pressure before pregnancy, you should take some medications during pregnancy as well, as high blood pressure will harm both you and the child. There are some medications that are allowed during pregnancy, so I would advise you to talk to your doctor to start a medication.Take careCome back if you have any further questions </s>
