At what SBP/DBP should hypertension be treated during pregnancy?

  1. SBP >= 160 or DBP >= 105

  2. SBP >= 150 or DBP >= 100

  3. SBP >= 130 or DBP >= 85

  4. SBP >= 140 or DBP >= 90

The correct answer is: SBP >= 160 or DBP >= 105

During pregnancy, there is a higher risk for expecting mothers to develop hypertension, which can potentially lead to complications for both the mother and the baby. Therefore, it is important to monitor and manage blood pressure levels closely. According to current guidelines, a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 160 or higher and a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 105 or higher would indicate hypertension and warrant treatment during pregnancy. The other options listed have lower thresholds for SBP and DBP levels, which may not necessarily require treatment. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized management of hypertension during pregnancy.
