Postpartum hypertension- nurses?

Hannah

I’m 1 week pp and I’ve been having a few high BP readings. Sometimes I get normal ones in the 120’s then other times I’ll get some readings in the 130/140’s. I am stressed I’m having a lot of anxiety basically about my blood pressure. If I still generally get normal readings are the high ones probably just caused from stress? I just called my OB. And waiting on a call back. The highest it’s gotten is 144/100 but after I relaxed and calmed down an hour later it was 127/89. Does this sound like I may need some BP medication or just due to my anxiety? After I had my first 3 years ago I was on BP medicine for about two weeks because it would get into the 160’s... I was super stressed then as well and it did go back to normal. Answers please
