Concerned?!?

Question

2 days ago I was just in the hospital for high blood pressure, it remained high and they wanted to keep me on close watch since all my tests went well and weren’t showing signs of preeclampsia. I just uncrossed my legs and this is what my leg looks like? Should I be concerned? I have a doc appointment at 8:15 in the morning tomorrow

Answer

I'd call your Ob now rather than wait

Answer

UPDATE: being induced due to high blood pressure

Answer

You should call your OB and let them know about the swelling. Swelling and high BP can still point to preeclampsia even without the protein in your urine.

Answer

Oh goodness I’ve never seen that happen. Sorry no advice, but good that you have an appointment already!

Answer

You should call. That’s called pitting and when you see that it’s not a good sign for your blood pressure. Might be nothing but better to call.

Answer

I'd definitely be concerned. I had preeclampsia without the protein in urine and had swelling like this

Answer

My doctors have a line that I can call with any questions or concerns and they’ll either tell me to come in or give me advice on what I can do to see if it gets better and if not then to come in. Maybe call your doctors because it could be an emergency and it could not be but play it safe anyways. You know your body better than anyone including us on here.
