My BP has been ranging all day .. my top number has been under 120 but my bottom (diastolic) has been around 81-83
Should I be concerned? For example: 97/81, 115/83 and etc. I had a very long day I was so tired with a bad headache and have been running around everywhere.
Now, I'm calm, bathed and etc and my pressure is back to normal (97/64)
Should I be concerned about it being on the higher side this afternoon? My pressure never goes over 80 so I was a bit concerned and I. Had a bad headache on top of it all. I know fatigue has a lot to do with it though because I have been SOOOO tired!
85 is not life threatening. It's normal for your blood pressure to rise when you're active, stressed, upset etc. It even rises slightly after eating and drinking.
For a more accurate reading, take it when you're completely relaxed. And be sure to sit upright with your feet flat on the ground.
@chasha2017, when I woke up this morning it was good 97/74 around there.. then during the day since I'm so busy it goes to like 97/85 that's when I get concerned.. the lower number seems to go up and it goes above the "limit".

@chasha2017, ok, I'll do it tonight before I go to bed. It only rises during the day. In the morning when I first wake up and when I'm in bed before I go to sleep. In the morning and at night it's usually 97/67 around there.
I just got worried because with my first pregnancy no matter the time of the day my BP always remained the same. Never went over 80, now throughout the day it does so I'm like uh oooh 😲
