Does anyone know of any connection between altitude and blood pressure?My client moved to a higher elevation prior to pregnancy.B.P. was occassionally labile.Now at about 33 wks, B.P. is up when she is home, down when she returns to the lower elevation.

Previously lived at about 4100 ' above sea level.Now about 7,250.

Thanks for any input. Paula

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
