blood pressure and protein in urine?
I gave birth 2 months ago and had high blood pressure and 1+ protein in urine past my 28th week.
The problem now is that the high blood pressure actually CAME BACK 2 weeks after birth (didn’t have before birth). I almost was admitted in the hospital but it went down to 140/90 and is staying near that even with the 2 meds im taking. One month ago my protein in my urine was "trace" and now it’s +1!!! I also have a urinary tract infectino that has been untreated for the past 3 months because of the baby and breastfeeding (whcih i now gave up)
My questions are :
1) is it my pressure causing this or the urinary infection ?
2) how concerned should i be?
3) is it reversable and what are the treatments?
and yes im going to teh doc on tuesday, just worried and don’t like waiting

the urinary tract infection "could" be making the blood pressure worse. You should NEVER let a UTI go untreated – there are breastfeeding safe antibiotics that can be used. If the UTI has progressed to your kidneys then it’s more likely causing blood pressure issues and protein in your urine.
If it’s really been 3 months of having a UTI/kidney infection, you "may" have done irreversible damage to your kidneys, but hopefully that’s not the case.
Get to the doctors ASAP please!
And congrats on your new baby!
i not really sure wat your tryin 2 ask me but i’ll find out
