Blood pressure scare Idk what to do

Ivette

So I wasn't really sure how high is too high BP wise. I had a gallstone flare up in Oct which put me in the hospital. This past Saturday night I felt like I was having another flare up. Chest pain, shoulder pain, upper stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, felt kind of faint and my head was killing me. I even saw floaters bright as hell. I decided to take my BP and it was 170/115 I didn't even know it could get that high. So I took some anti acid / reflux over the counter med. Drank me some water and walked it off. I really wanted to go to the hospital but it was 1am and I have two 5 year old boys sleeping. I didn't want to wake everyone and drag them to hospital for no reason. But next day and pretty much all weekend my BP never went below 145/90.. Tday I finally call my doc and she was shocked I didn't go to hospital. This morning around 9am BP was back to normal 120/70 so they told me to just monitor it since I have an appointment this Wednesday coming up. I am nervous I won't lie I am scared it can be preeclampsia 😳 I just want my baby girl to be ok. I am already scheduled for a c-section Feb 3rd. I hope I make it 🙏🙏 ladies share stories please anything this or advise..
