Did Anyone Have Really High Blood Pressure At Their Post-partum Checkup?

Question

My blood pressure has been perfect all throughout pregnancy & labor, but at my pp checkup it was sky high. They referred me to another doctor to see what is going on. Has anyone else experienced this? I appreciate any comments. I'm freaking out.

Answer

I had high blood pressure the second day after I had my lo and about 3-4 weeks later when I went to the hospital for chest pains and heart burns that lead it to being super high I also suffer from depression and anxiety as well thinking things all the time worrying about bad things that will happen to me I went to my 6 week check yet that's next week but I'm calming myself down until I talk to someone I never experienced this before this is my third pregnancy and suffering a lot lately

Answer

I have this. Was hospitalized overnight when lo was about a week old. They ran a bunch of blood tests and nothing was super out of the ordinary. I've been on medication for 5 weeks to keep my bp down and am now being weened off of it.
