High BP

Breanna

I've been on bed rest because of my blood pressure being high. Well this morning I woke up with a KILLER headache, I took 2 extra strength tylenol at 9 am. It STILL hasn't gone away, it's been 3 hours. I've eaten, and haven't done anything active all morning.

I've had trouble with my blood pressure meter before giving me high readings and then going to the hospital and it turning out to be nothing except a 3 hour visit to the hospital just to have one of the hospital doctors treat me like I am stupid.

My meter at home gave me a reading of 153/102 at 10 am. At 11 am, it was 143/102.

I had my mother in law check it manually twice. It was 141/101 the first time and 140/102 the second time.

I've had some swelling today too, I did have my baby shower yesterday so I was up longer than I needed to be up.

I'm going to call the on call nurse, so no rude comments please. But I'm just wondering what everyone thinks I should do? Is it related to me being up for a few hours yesterday? Or should I go get checked again?
