But my story became even more extraordinary when I discovered I was pregnant during this challenging time.
For months, I experienced symptoms that initially seemed unrelated:
Severe, unbearable headaches
Frequent dizziness and lightheadedness
Double vision
Unexplained nosebleeds
Persistent fatigue
Difficulty concentrating at work
My journey through the healthcare system was frustrating. Initially diagnosed with hypertension, I was prescribed blood pressure medication, but my symptoms persisted.
