High blood pressure ? 36 weeks

Question

Is this normal blood pressure ?

Answer

My midwife said that wrist cuffs aren’t accurate. Get an arm cuff. Mine was like $30 at Walmart

Answer

That seems like an odd reading to me. The systolic is on the high end, but then the diastolic is quite low.
Are you having any lightheadedness or dizziness? Headaches or other symptoms? I have low BP (DBP in the 50s like you) but my SBP never goes above 105 so your reading seems odd to me. Maybe wait 10 min and try again to see if you get a different result?

Answer

I wouldn’t trust a wrist cuff.

Answer

So if that’s an accurate reading, your systolic (top number) is a little high, but not worrisome. Have you been sitting still for a least 10 minutes? Wrist cuffs can be a little tricky. Make sure the reading is being taken at heart level (don’t dangle your arms… put your elbow on a table while you’re seated and raise your hand till it’s at the same level as your heart…you can Google pictures). I much prefer regular arm cuffs, so if you have one, I’d compare it against that.

Answer

I have very low blood pressure most of the time, lucky if mine goes over 95/55, when I was pregnant it was around 140/60 so this looks like a normal reading for me. I’d get a better cuff though, wrist ones aren’t the best for accuracy!

Answer

Bottom number is very low way to low it should be 80 
Or even 70s

Answer

Sus is not too high, anything over 140 I would start watching. Día is actually a little lower than where it should be so I would relax and rest and try again. Please call your doctor if you’re concerned they know better 🌈
