Stressing over high blood pressure
Stressing over high blood pressure
So I just need to vent for a minute ladies. I go to my regular OB and I also go to a specialist due to high blood pressure and history of miscarriage. I am currently going to my specialist at least twice a week for non stress tests and then once every two weeks for in depth ultrasounds. I go to my regular OB every two weeks. Yesterday I went to my specialist and they did my blood pressure and it was fine 131/59. I also check my blood pressure at home and it is not high.

Last Wednesday I went in for my regular check up, and my blood pressure was 145/105 they immediately did an nst and for the first 5 min baby was moving then "took a nap" at least that's what the doc told me, had their tech do an emergency ultrasound and everything was good. They had me do a 24 hr urine collection and I got my results online and my protein level was a little high, in the mid 200's I've been waiting for a call from my doctor and I even tried calling the office and no one was gotten back to me, this was friday... I have another nst tomorrow hopefully I will get answers.

I’m the same as the pp. Mine runs 136/85 normally and I already take medicine. My doctor said to let him know if it’s 140/90 or over. To keep it under that I’m supposed to increase my heart rate for 30 minutes a day walking or something and lower my salt intake. Other than that there’s not much you can do. If mine reaches 140/90 my doctor will put me on bed rest most likely. I just take my bp at home 3 times a day and take the readings with me to my weekly appointments.

I got diagnosed at 28 weeks with preeclampsia. Blood pressure is 145/95 almost every time I got for my NST. No medicine to monitor it. I am on moderate bed rest. Can’t work, but says if I stay the same, I can go till term which will induce me at 37 weeks.

I seem to only have high BP when I'm AT my OB. It was 135/86 (or close, can't remember lol) at my appointment today. This evening it was 119/85 so definitely better. I was taking baby aspirin but have to stop now since we're getting close to the end! They just told me to check it daily and if it ever gets over 140/90 to call them.

I'm dealing with high blood pressure also but I don't have any tips. I've been in the hospital since Saturday due to my bp. I need tips myself. They said I may have to deliver my baby but I really won't know anything til tomorrow evening. hope all goes well your way.
