Sousou asked:

I just recently had a miscarriage caused by high blood pressure. I want to try again, but i am worried that taking any medication while pregnant will harm the fetus’s growth. My doctor told me that i will continue to miscarry without the medication, but i am very worried about any effects to the baby. What is the safest blood pressure medication to take while pregnant and have there been any studies to prove no abnormalities. I am very worried. Please can anyone help. Thanks.

I think I have low blood pressure because I feel dizzy and light-headed and my nausea has gotten worse over the last few days. It seems to help if I constantly munch on fruit. Does low blood sugar aggravate low blood pressure, or what?
