Answer

I would call the nurse at the hospital & ask. It could be something serious. Good luck hun ❤

Answer

If this is the first time that it is this high, I would go to the emergency room. Also, almost every doctor's office has an on call doctor/midwife. Call and talk to them.

Answer

I would call the drs office for sure and ask. Chances are they’ll have you come in and repeat it. If you have severe headache, chest or upper gastric pain, blurred vision, new swelling in hands feet or face, these would be reasons to go to L&D. Chances are you were just walking around and a little stressed/dehydrated. You can also get a cheap meter at cvs and check again at home a few times tonight. Providers don’t usually worry unless you have two readings over 140 upper number or 90 lower number that are four or more hours apart.

Answer

120/80 is the magic number for bp. So it sounds to me like it’s regulating itself out for you. 140/80 still isn’t that high and won’t concern most doctors. But if you’re that concerned it’s better to call

Answer

If you were walking around and just sat down and quickly did it it could read higher than normal. Ideally your supposed to sit for 10–15 minutes and relax before taking your blood pressure.

Answer

I'd get checked out. I got diagnosed with preeclampsia with similar pressures. They may want to check your urine for protein as well.
