Experience with high blood pressure?

Question

I’m worried about my blood pressure.... I’ve been getting my daily headaches but today I had one pretty bad and took my blood pressure with a wrist cuff. It was 141/89, I waited took a nap and resting it was 131/84. I’m going to call my ob in the am but has anyone experienced this before and what were sone other symptoms you had? I sometimes feel shaky and have a very fast feeling heartbeat and of course the headaches

Answer

I have high blood pressure outside of pregnancy. (When I’m pregnant it’s perfect, go figure) but I would get headaches. Part of my face went numb. Went to the hospital and my BP was 260/140. I had a small stroke. I was 33 when that happened and mostly healthy. My face still goes numb over a year later. So yea don’t ever ignore high blood pressure.

Answer

I was dizzy and breathing hard, but my blood pressure turned out to be low instead of high. It resolved itself after a week though. Hope your ob is able to check it out.

Answer

I have blood pressure issues, was put on medication... same with my first. my doctor will not let me go past 38 weeks because of all my blood pressure issues

Answer

I rechecked it and it came out 109/60 so I guess that’s better than the above stated. I’m just gonna keep an eye on it and keep recording it in my Apple Health App and talk to Dr tomorrow.
