Ok, here is abit of my history: Had my first child at 16, pregnancy went well, but straight after birth whilst getting a few stitches I had extreme toxemia and suffered from several seizures. The doctors ended up finally stabilizing me after many,many hours and I had to stay in hospital for about 10 days afterwards.
At age 18 had another child, pregnancy went fine and so did birth … No seizures everything all good.
Fast forward to Dec 2010, 30 yrs old just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy (4 days overdue) and he was big 9lbs 7 onces. Pregnancy was pretty good, stressed out alot but ok.
Labor was ok, went very quickly, but had to get some stitches. I had a headache during this and started to freak out that I was going to have seizures (because I had the worst headache EVER, just before the seizures started) Anyway so I had panadol for headache, doctor finished up stitching. And I went to my room, where I started seeing flashes of light and sqiggly lines and I freaked out thinking my blood pressure was going up and i was going to have seizures.
Doctors said my blood pressure was up, but not that bad they gave me something for my nausea and that was it.
The nurses continued to check my BP which stayed slightly high (but they kept saying it was not that bad and that alot of women get high BP after birth) I think the the highest it went was 145/100.
A doctor came to see and said that he thought it was panic attacks and was getting someone from Mental Health to talk to me, I was fine with that. But I really thought that it was just if my BP goes down I will be fine. I spoke to MH and she agreed. They placed me on BP medication and it went down and I was fine.
The day I was leaving hospital, Nurse gave both my husband and I a Whopping Cough booster. When I was given needle I tasted metal and felt funny, nurse said “Oh you have had seizures before, tasting metal is a sign of seizures, lay down “!!! I freaked out, she checked my BP and said it was high and called Doctor. He came in and said that it was a reaction the needle and panic attack. He gave my husband a piece of paper with all the side effects of the booster (which did not say taste metal and I did not get any symptoms mentioned) The nurse continued to montior my BP and it went back down to normal within a 20 mins or so. And it was all good again.
went to leave hospital, and the carseat wasn’t working and it was hot and I thought I could feel my BP going up, went back into hospital. Nurse checked, it was fine. But she then said that she is worried it is more then BP problems and called MH back over. After talking to them again, I have found that I am having anxiety attacks (mainly if I feel anything different physically I freak out and worry that I am going to get High BP and have seizures and DIE!!) Which I know is not going to happen,but getting my brain to take that in is very hard. I know my BP can’t go too high (since I am on medication) and I can’t have seizures from Toxemia when I didn’t even have it in the first place.
But when symptoms of High BP and Anxiety attacks are very similar is it hard to get your hormone filled brain to understand.
Now to top it all off I am a emotional mess, crying, thinking that my life has changed so much and don’t know how I am going to deal with it. (all that stuff) which I am sure is normal.
But anyways if anyone has any good advice or their own experiences I would love to hear.
Just typing this out has helped abit I think.
Thanks heaps.

what you had was toxaemia of pregnancy with its symptoms as hypertension,leg oedema and protein urea and seizure.
this end by delivery and no side effect.
as you are not pregnant any more, no more risk.
but you have to check your blood pressure and treat if hypertensive.
