I’m 13 weeks 5 days and I have chronic hypertension (was diagnosed 6/7yrs ago). I’ve been medicated for the last 6/7yrs and my meds have always worked, even with my last pregnancy. Due to the higher risk of preeclampsia I’m high risk and closely monitored. I take my BP meds, low dose baby aspirin, prenatals and iron (I’m anemic also).

The last few days I’ve had a horrible headache and I’m scared to take Tylenol since I’m already on aspirin. But today I’ve been getting short of breath quickly and light headed. I’ve had breakfast and my meds already. I’ve been drinking water (I’ve also had OJ and milk). I took my BP the other day because I got very light headed, dizzy and weak and it was 122/77 and today it was 125/79. Not where it should be but not too high either.

Anyone else with high BP experiencing anything similar?

I do plan on calling my doctor, I’m just not sure if it’s 2nd trimester related, BP related or something more serious.

Thanks!
