I'm so pissed!!!! I went to this OB one time to just get a blood test to determine I'm definitely pregnant and to go over all the meds I'm on. I was on two blood pressure meds one I am off completely and the other I take 50mg 2x's a day as opposed to 100mg once a day. Mind you the doc said this was fine. Ok fast forward 2 weeks and I call him regarding my sciatica. After he asked me are you pregnant?!?!?! He then told me I can get a steroid epidural injection in my spine (which you cannot!) something told me to check out the meds he said I can stay on and the blood pressure med he said is ok is a fucking category D medicine and so not ok!!!!! I am So pissed and freaking out. God forbid this hurts my baby and I was just following the docs orders!! I think it's time for this dick to retire practicing. 😡😡😡
I'm on atenelol and it's a steroid epidural injection for my inflammation which is not to be done in the first trimester per my pain management doc and from what I see online it's a no no
After my last convo with this dick I already decided to my new appointment is on Tuesday. If I could stop my blood pressure meds cold turkey I would but my blood pressure will sky rocket as if this isn't making it do that already!
yeah get a new doctor. I'm sorry they told you it was fine.
