I just heard from Dr.Scott,he said no  Shocked molly should not be on b/p medication unless absolutely nessasary.He suggested monitering for a while. He wants her tested for renal artery stenosis as referenced by moms on this page. molly s b/p since being home has been 117/73. If i had followed her gps advice and gave her dioavan it could have killed her by lowering it too much and having no blood flow to the brain leading to a massive stroke Angry.
thank heaven for this site and mothers intuition Grin

If her bp is that high then it would be needed. Im on bp meds and my bp doesnt drop to low. It shouldnt be either to high or too low.
