Should I be worried?

So I went to my OB this afternoon for a routine appointment, and my blood pressure was 140/83. That’s quite high compared to what it normally is for me, mine is normally low. I’ve also had a lot of swelling in my hands and feet, and the OB seemed concerned that I’m in the early stages of preeclampsia. She said we’re gonna monitor it really closely for the next few weeks, and if she is really that concerned, we’re gonna run the tests.

Should I be worried? I’m paranoid this pregnancy as it is, but if it’s something that isn’t too serious, I mean...I just want my baby to be okay.
