Blood pressure at home!? 141/91!?

Question

Checked my blood pressure at home because my young sister wanted to see how a blood pressure monitor worked lol. Well I took it and it was 158/86 but I was talking so took it again and it was 148/92 which is still high. Waited 10 minutes and took it again and it was 141/91. I took everyone else’s and no one else’s was high. But I’m not sure how accurate they are. Should I be worried? I’m 28+2. Tia x

Answer

You need to call your doctor immediately. You should of called with the first high blood pressure.
My doctor told me not to even think about not calling her if my top number hit 150 or higher, or if my bottom number hit 100 or higher. 
It can be extremely dangerous for you and baby.

Answer

I’d call your OB. I’ve been taking my blood pressure’s randomly and they’ve always been 140 or more I never thought much of it now I’m 27 weeks in the hospital with preeclampsia. Not saying you have it just saying take it very serious.

Answer

Yes you need to talk to your doctor. Because unless u were checking your blood pressure constantly, and this is normal average number sometimes, then if not, it means you are with pre eclampsia and has to go to hospital. Any blood pressure over 140 higher and 100 lower numbers, is considered pre eclampsia and dangerous. Specially if before your blood pressure was at least two numbers less than that. Talk to your doctor immediately please.

Answer

If you can go to a pharmacy that has a blood pressure cuff, do that to compare. During the start of covid, my doctors sent me a machine to test at home, and the readings were crazy wrong. Get checked just in case, but doing it at home may just be giving you bad readings.

Answer

I'd call the obgyn if it continues to be that high
