‼ QUESTION‼ I have been monitoring my blood pressure but I was wondering what is "too high" for the top number and "too…

@leiibaaaby, my doctor rushed me to the hospital I'm high risk for preeclampsia and they think I have sleep apnea. Baby is perfect heartbeat was 164 and growin so big!!

When my blood pressure was high I got a ready of 170/80 which is really high I have a blood pressure cuff that my husband bought at CVS that tells you of its high

No problem its my job to take vitals so i just want to make sure your doing it right and not just freaking your self out . Goodluck !

@leiibaaaby, okay. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for being concerned.

You should wait a least an hour or two because you keep taking it over it makes your blood pressure raise even more and taking it on the other arm doesnt change the out come and dont eat or drink sit with your feet flat on the ground in a chair its alot of rules to this thats why we go to school for it ro do it the peoper way alot of patients come in and tell me they use these and they are using them wrong but call for an appointment in the am and keep me posted if you dont mind

@just9monthsx3, I don't have a ride right now. My mom said she'll take me when she wakes up. I called the on call and they want me to go up and asked how long it would be so they could let the er know. At this point the only thing I can do is go to sleep until my mom gets here at who knows what time.

Let me know what happens ! @rainbowbaby2015

@rainbowbaby2015,

Yes love way to high call them are you on. bP meds

@just9monthsx3,

This was the other arm.

Take it in the other arm let me know what it is @rainbowbaby2015

@rainbowbaby2015,

I'd call now. Just in case

@just9monthsx3, should I call the on call now or just wait until the office opens?

@rainbowbaby2015, call dr or go to er. That's is too high.

@bria.k, my grandma has high blood pressure so she has an electric monitor that she has her in home nurse check every Monday and Thursday to make sure it's still working right

If that is your blood pressure call the Dr they still have you go to ER

120/80

What did you take your BP with?

I'm pretty sure the bottom number is the bigger deal, but don't quote me. This was one of the readings I got. It was bad enough to where my local hospital thought I was going to deliver at 28 weeks exactly and had to fly me out 2 hours away where I delivered at 29 weeks exactly. Not to scare you. Just warning you.

@kimberlyyyy, I have been having extremely bad migraines which the doctor is aware of. I'm relaxing and not stressing myself out because I don't wanna raise it anymore then it already is.

You cant keep taking it you have to give it time in between because it wont be accurate thats what i mean by be doing it wrong get me ?

Try to relax though. Worrying will make it worse

If you have headaches, blurry vision of start seeing spots or floating things go see a doctor. I checked my blood pressure at a cvs, went to the hospital, and a week and a day later I was having an emergency c section due to high blood pressure/preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome and s couple other things. Pay close attention to your body.

@leiibaaaby, @bria.k now it's 167/89 hr 86

@leiibaaaby, okay thank you honey. I really appriciate the advice. It's very helpful

Yes call your dr and tell them.

I would make a same day appt for tomorrow because thats high . or call the after hours nurse . And make sure your taking it right i seen so many people do it wrong (no eating or drinking before nothing crossed no talking texting etc )

@leiibaaaby, no I don't take anything at all

@bria.k, I'm only 13 weeks and the most they'll do is send me to the er because the ob floor will only see me if I'm 16* weeks

Are you on any medications ?

Yeah probably. They may want to monitor youz

Im no doctor im a MA and thats considered dangerous . Whats your average BP ? And can you post a pic of what your taking it with ? You could just be doing it wrong or lil things could be throwing it off

@bria.k, should I call my doctor when they open and let them know? I have an appointment the 5th so ahould I just wait till then?

120/80 is normal. Something unhealthy or possibly dangerous would be 140/110.

@leiibaaaby, my blood pressure was 140/100. Hr 71

Normally it should be around 120/80 thats average its okay if its alil high pregnancy increases your BP alil
