High Blood Pressure

Madeline

I went through this with my first son but I'm having high blood pressure issues again.

Yesterday I went in because I just had anxiety about the baby (just a weird gut feeling). But my blood pressure was 142/89 when I got there and at the end of my appointment (everything looked great), which was 2 hours long, it had only gone down a point on both ends.

Nobody seemed concerned about it. They told me it was because I was anxious and I really didn't agree. My doc said they would check it again when I come back next week. Then go from there. My normal blood pressure is a textbook 120/70.

I guess I am just a bit put out at just getting dismissed like that. I've had issues before, why wouldn't they take it more seriously? I've lived with anxiety my whole life and it doesn't affect my blood pressure.
