E. K. is a 41 year old female admitted for headache and numbness of the whole body. She was admitted in May for palpitation and in June for weakness of the right side of the body. This case looks simple but what complicates my management is the fact she is 7 months pregnant.
In May, good that her obstetrician-gynecologist allowed be to give Amiodarone 200 mg capsules BID which reverted her cardiac rhythm to normal at once. In June, only Vitamin B complex was given which offered relief. I think that all these signs and symptoms are due to hormonal changes of pregnancy.
This admission, she is being treated for pre-eclampsia (hypertension with pregnancy) with Methyldopa 250 mg tablet TID.
