Tuberculosis does not affect the vascular system, so it could not cause hypertension.

You are in a terrible place. My wife has MG and I understand the fear of the immobilization and helplessness it can cause. You should definitely speak with your neurologist and gyn about possible birth defects and fetal damage ASAP. There are other treatments for MG out there like other drugs, IVIG or plasmapherisis. These are all options that should be discussed immediately with your M.D. \n\nIn terms of this possible pregnancy, get yourself to the local drugstore, buy a test and find out for sure. In my opinion, your health is the most important and risking your life for a pregnancy is not an option. Of course, it is entirely up to you and your health care provider. They may be able to work out a way for you to use an alternative means of controlling your disease during the pregnancy. \n\nIf the pregnancy test is negative, you should look into other means of birth control. You can use an IUD, diaphragm, cervical cap, spermicide, condoms, or sponge. None of these rely on hormones and can prevent this issue in the future. There are non-hormonal IUDs that can be as effective as the pill for birth control.\n\nTo the other respondents that said you should have thought of this before becoming pregnant, shame! You don't know a person's situation unless you are there in the room with them. Telling this woman that she should have thought about is before she got pregnant is doing nothing for her very personal and difficult dilemma.

I am not a physician but when I had this problem I went to one.  Turns out that my blood-pressure and blood sugar were all out of whack.  PLEASE see a physician immediately.  Have a freind drive you or take the bus but do it soon and please don't drive a car until you have this solved.  Today if possible.

Did you ask your doctor? They've usually got the resources for stuff like that. Sorry to hear the bad news. Take care...

To be brutal it is pretty much impossible to completely recover. True CHF is weakening of the heart muscle to the point where it can no longer pump enough volume to keep the blood from backing up. The weakening itself is going to be there. It is very possible you were diagnosed very early and with proper diet and medication you are able to keep the area beating strong enough to not have problems. If you stopped taking care of yourself, however, it would return as it was. This is mostly a conjecture since I don't have any history or medication or what the MD actually told you but, no a complete disappearance of the disease isn't possible.

dont worry... your body is still probably changing\n\nif you lost weight or have been exercising lately... that can be a reason\n\njust be glad its light and not all gross\n\nits just that your body is still taking time to get used to producing the blood and nutrients to have a baby... that it doesnt produce enough yet\n\nso dont have a baby yet\n\nuntil its regular and good\n\n... you can go to webmd's if you are really scared but i dont think its anything serious\n\nif its skipping... its probably bc your underweight or you have some kind of cancer but if its just light... consider yourself lucky\n\n=D

Pregnancy Issues\nMore than 90% of pregnant women with epilepsy give birth to normal, healthy babies.If I become pregnant, what are my chances of having a healthy baby?\nYour chances of having a normal, healthy child are excellent -- greater than 90%. However, there are some increased risks for women with epilepsy that you should consider before getting pregnant, if possible. Both your neurologist and your gynecologist/obstetrician need to be involved in reviewing your antiepileptic drug (AED) and any potential medication changes prior to the beginning of a pregnancy.\n\nDo women with epilepsy have problems getting pregnant?\nOverall, women with epilepsy have fewer children than other women. This may be partly personal choice, but research has indicated that women with epilepsy have a higher rate of menstrual cycle irregularities and other gynecological problems that may interfere with fertility. Again, it is important that you talk with your gynecologist/obstetrician and your neurologist to sort through these issues.\n\nThe more we learn about pregnancy and epilepsy, the greater our understanding of the risks of AEDs to infants. If you are a woman with epilepsy and you become pregnant, please register with the AED Pregnancy Registry, housed at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. The Registry will confidentially track your pregnancy and its outcome. As more women register and report the outcome of their pregnancy, the researches will be able to identify the safest AEDs for seizures during pregnancy and also determine how safe the newer AEDs are. To register, call (888) 233-2334.What do I have to do to get ready for a pregnancy?\nAll women should be in good general health and pay attention to their nutrition before and during pregnancy. If finances are a problem, you may qualify for funded nutritional programs such as Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC). Information about this program can be obtained from your physician's office or from your local health department.\n\nA regular schedule with adequate exercise and appropriate rest will keep you physically fit and may help you manage stress. It is important to take vitamins with folic acid prior to and throughout pregnancy, to reduce the risk of certain kinds of birth defects. Since many of these problems occur very early in pregnancy (sometimes before you know you are pregnant), it is wise to start taking folic acid before becoming pregnant. Check with your physician about the exact dosage.\n\nYou may want to ask your physician for a referral to a genetics specialist who can help you assess the risks to your baby from your epilepsy, your seizure medication, and other inherited traits that may be present in your family.\n\nWill my epilepsy cause problems during my pregnancy?\nMost women who have epilepsy do not have any unusual problems with their pregnancy.\n\nStudies do show, however, that women with epilepsy have an increased risk of vaginal bleeding both during and after pregnancy. Early and continued prenatal care by your obstetrician is very important. Consistent visits will immediately alert you and your doctor to any problems during your pregnancy and will allow for prompt treatment.\n\nIt is very important to avoid tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and drugs such as marijuana and cocaine. Other dangers may come from environmental chemicals like pesticides, paints and oven cleaners. All of these toxins have been associated with pregnancy complications and poor pregnancy outcomes. By avoiding them, you can eliminate the risk of compounding any negative effects of your anticonvulsant medication.\n\nHow can pregnancy affect my seizures?\nMost women will see no change in their seizures. One quarter to one third of women with epilepsy who become pregnant will have increased seizures during their pregnancy despite continued use of antiepileptic medication. During pregnancy, concentrations of seizure medication in your bloodstream may c

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 24 years now and i have 2 teenage kids, both healthy and happy. i had c-sections with both of them.My blood sugar levels were terrible when I got pregnant but with 3 hourly monitoring and weekly scans after 32 weeks to make sure the baby wasn;t getting to big, I had a healthy boy. I got alot of support from my diabetic specialist and obstetrician. I had to have an amnio at 18 weeks but no problems. Your sugar levels go up a bit after the birth for a few days but settle down again as your body recovers feel free to ask me anything there really is nothing to be scared of!!!

it isn't abnormal to have your pressure raised with labor.  but basically to determine if you have high blood pressure  3 seperate readings is needed.  but basically yess your body will return  it back.  working out is also a good way to control you bp too.

Return to your specialist. If he/she cannot help you, seek a different specialist. My son was born with birth defects 26 years ago, and I discovered that there are degrees of specialists, i.e., just because someone is a specialist, it doesn't make him or her an absolute authority. When a specialist would "give up" on my son, and basically say he was going to die and there was nothing more to be done,I would simply find a different specialist who could help him.  He is now 26 and getting married this summer. Had I accepted one specialist's answer, he would not be alive today. Something is obviously wrong with you and you need to find a physician who can help you. I have gone to 4 specialists for help recently, including the U of Mich. who could not help me with a major medical problem I was having. I went on the net, found yet another specialist who solved my problem in one office visit!!!!

you are a practicing doctor. You should know the answer yourself...\nGet your baby born first. Then, think of exercise.\nyour question doesnt relate to your explaination. Idont know which to answer. Does your pregnancy has something to do with "how long what kaind of sudies you have to do"?

Talk to your doctor;  I have GERD, and I went thru several medications before my doctor settled on Zantac.  I had my worst reactions from the Prevacid; I got a really rapid heartbeat, and my blood pressure shot up.   Your doctor will recommend something else.

Yeah.  I've said it before here, but my baby is a miracle from God.  I'd been trying to get pregnant for 2 years.  (You're considered medically infertile after 1 year)  Some fellow believers gathered around to pray for me and my hubby and what do you know?  I got pregnant withing 2 weeks!  It wasn't a holy spirit impregnation like Mary, we did our part!  God definitely moved on our behalf to allow us to have a child.  Every day I look at my child's sweet face and am reminded of God's miracle working power!

First...there is no cure for Lupus but there are alot of charlatins out there that would love to sell you the "cure".\n\nBut yes, it is very possible for you to get pregnant and to do ok.  I would suggest that you are healthly in every other aspect and not starting this out in a flare.  I would also line up a perinatologist.\n\nAlthough a lupus pregnancy is considered high risk, most women with lupus carry their babies safely to the end of their pregnancy. Women with lupus have a higher rate of miscarriage and premature births compared with the general population. In addition, women who have antiphospholipid antibodies are at a greater risk of miscarriage in the second trimester because of their increased risk of blood clotting in the placenta. Lupus patients with a history of kidney disease have a higher risk of preeclampsia (hypertension with a buildup of excess watery fluid in cells or tissues of the body). Pregnancy counseling and planning before pregnancy are important. Ideally, a woman should have no signs or symptoms of lupus and be taking no medications for at least 6 months before she becomes pregnant.\n\nPregnancy counseling and planning before pregnancy are important.\n\nSome women may experience a mild to moderate flare during or after their pregnancy; others do not. Pregnant women with lupus, especially those taking corticosteroids, also are more likely to develop high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), and kidney complications, so regular care and good nutrition during pregnancy are essential. It is also advisable to have access to a neonatal (newborn) intensive care unit at the time of delivery in case the baby requires special medical attention.\n\nI have both Lupus and APS.  I often ask myself these same questions.  Is it fair to have a baby and be sick or possibly die on them.  And being that both you and your mom have Lupus there is a strong familia trait in your family...chances are your baby will develop it.  So, no kids here.  Chances are I will adopt.  I have too many medications that I would have to stop.\n\nAnd since APS is often triggered in Lupus patients during pregnancy, I will give you that page too.

When my son was born he became severely ill. He was taken to children's for surgery. I had just miscarried before I got pregnant with him and he was kind of my last hope. We felt awful when he didn't recover right away like they said he would. He lost a lot of weight before he started to come around, and we were there, in the hospital, for about a week and a half. Our biggest inspiration was the other parents we saw and talked too. Some had been there months waiting on transplants that probably wouldn't come. Some knew they would never take their children home, and some helped their children plan their own funerals. What was a week and a half to all that. The point is there is always someone worse off then you. You have your life and you should enjoy it. You never know when your time is up, so you better live now.
