High blood pressure?

Kimberly • Wife and Mother of two sweet little girls💕 two babies in heaven👼🏼

I had my 28 week check today and my blood pressure was 136/87 and my protein in my urine was slightly elevated but not of concern. My OB doesn’t seem worried but the highest my blood pressure has ever been is 118/72. Should I be worried or not worry since she’s not? I haven’t been to thrilled with this specific doctor as she seems to always be in and out and makes your questions seem irrelevant or everything is always “normal”. I see a different doctor in 4 weeks and I’m hoping if my blood pressure is still on the higher side that he will be more attentive. I’ve also gained 8 pounds in the last 4 weeks and have been doing good keeping my weight under control this whole pregnancy so far. I usually gain like 3 pounds a month and this time it was 8. Maybe I’m over thinking things but I’ve had headaches non stop for the last two weeks that don’t go away with Tylenol or rest as well as some on and off extreme chest pain that kinda resembles heart burn. I haven’t been eating a ton lately as I just don’t have much of an appetite so the 8 pound weight gain really threw me through a loop. Any advice?
