Stressed 😩
My blood pressure has been shooting up the last week. My normal is 110/60 and it is staying right at around 120/95 this last week unless I’m laying down not moving. The last 2 nights it has spiked up to 136/113 and last night it was 130/106. I called my dr today to find out what they wanted me to do and they told me to come to labor and delivery to be monitored so I’m currently laying in the L&D department in bed getting monitored. But it is showing normal 120/79 everytime because I am laying down not moving. They asked about my dizzy spells when it spikes high and about my bad headaches and bad shooting pains across the top of my stomach the last week but they won’t even test my urine for protein unless they physically see it get high. Am I over reacting or is this ridiculous 😔 I feel like they’re not listening to what I’m saying because it is perfectly normal when I’m just laying in bed. I’m only 34 weeks I’m scared that when it spikes that high it’s going to cause me to go into labor. 😩
Update: they came back in and told me that my OB told them not to do any labs on my urine like I asked and to give me Tylenol and send me home. I told them I wanted it put on my file that I requested the urine analysis and was refused so they pretty much immediately came back in and decided they were going to send the test down after all because “the dr said it was ok to test it” so they’re testing my pee 🙄
