Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication involving high blood pressure that can develop suddenly. It typically starts after 20 weeks of pregnancy, and can happen after delivery as well. Severe cases can include organ damage, such as to the liver and kidneys. Eclampsia is a further complication when the patient develops seizures due to the pregnancy.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Prompt medical care is necessary with the OB/GYN and appropriate specialists. Medications to control the blood pressure and reduce the risk of seizure are typically started. Depending on how far along the pregnancy is, delivery of the baby may be recommended to treat the condition and keep the mom and baby safe. If safe to do so, the specialist may suggest more frequent check-ups and/or medication to control blood pressure while allowing the pregnancy to continue.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.
(Sep 27, 2024)
Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
