Preeclampsia ?

Question

I have had super high blood pressure this evening and I feel dizzy, nauseous and have swollen feet. I’m a little nervous and don’t feel like myself at all. Should I head in?
Edit - My doctor showed me how to use the wrist one properly and said it is fine to use.

Answer

I use the arm one. I checked and was 136 went to my drs the next day still 136. Today I’m around 131. Make sure you follow instructions exactly so it can be accurate. Mines is always almost spot on. Get the one for your arm

Answer

I would go in

Answer

Id go in! Also, the wrist ones are less accurate! Get a regular one that goes around your arm!

Answer

Call OB now

Answer

Call the place you'll be delivering and ask if they want you to come in or not. As the other commenter said wrist readings aren't as accurate and often times the electric blood pressure monitors can be way off too.

Answer

I’d absolutely go in, what could it hurt?

Answer

I would definitely call. Wrist BP monitors generally aren’t as accurate, but these are high readings nonetheless, so Id call or go in just in case.
