High blood pressure
I'm 39 weeks 4 days FTM. So a couple weeks ago my doctor told me to keep an eye out and call as soon as I get any of a list of certain signs: persistent headache, upper right side pain, or blurry vision/floaters. She told me to keep an eye out for these because she kept noticing my blood pressure going up or being spiked during my visits. Last week I called and was sent to the hospital because of a persistent head ache. While I was there they monitored my blood pressure and then sent me home. They said everything looked okay but to continue paying attention to those signs. I kept getting severe headaches that would last anywhere from a couple minutes to a few hours so out of curiosity I bought a blood pressure cuff to monitor what it was. Last night while monitoring it every 15 to 20 minutes for a little over 2 hours my systolic pressure only got below 140 twice and spiked around 150 three times (149, 150, 153). Is this something I should call my doctor about? My next appointment is tomorrow afternoon... Should I just wait until then and mention it to her while I continue monitoring?
