When to worry?

Question

I know my top number is higher than it should be but the bottom number is good. When should I be concerned? Also I’m 25 weeks.
Edit to add: I was told to check my blood pressure regularly because of my heart and blood pressure problems after delivery with my last baby. My doctor said if it gets to 140/90 to go to the hospital. But the bottom number is fine so not sure when to worry.

Answer

That’s fine!  Mine was 153/92 at my OB apt the other day. Just monitor your symptoms and you’ll be ok.  Xo

Answer

I had preeclamsia and my dr was not concerned over the 140s. He said to lay down for 10 mins and take it again and if it goes down, no worries

Answer

Doesn't matter if bottom or top one, you should contact doc if it higher on one or the other. But do you have an underlying condition? Because I have not heard "head to hospital asap" instruction for that. You should sit, relax, and measure again, best is to measure three times and take an average (some maschine do it themselves) and both hands. If then nothing changes yous hould call a doc to get instructions or go to hospital of you feel off. Basically, it is a thing to worry about, but it is not "run, fast, to the hospital" kind of worry, it can wait a few hours for your own doc to see you if you yourself are feeling quite ok. Unless you have other symproms, like dizzyness, etc.
