hypertensive pregnant

[Guest guest]

I have a 30's woman with no history of hypertension who developed

hypertension right after becoming pregnant the second time.

We had difficulty getting this under control with remedies and

nutrients in the preg, and she became preeclamptic and delivered a

healthy baby early

But her hypertension continued after delivery and to this day 11

months after

Any thoughts on the mechanism of this?

With her history of liver fire picture with headaches and acne around

menses, and heavy periods, I am inclined to treat liver/hormonal

rather than using cardiovascular remedies, which in past did not seem

to work

I hardly see pregnant hypertensive patients

thanks
