I'm 36w went to my doctors apt Friday at 3pm bp was 165/a normal number the nurse said. I left without them getting to recheck it they called and told me to go to a cvs or something and have it checked so I did I went to 3 different cvs stores between 4 and 6 It went from 147/80 to 144/81 to 155/61 called and told l&d because my clinic was now closed got to ER they checked it was 147/80 they sent me up took blood urine and all that it came out fine bp went from 150/80 to 113/something I did notice she switched arms and put it on looser can that effect bp? I'm wondering because I've had a headache for almost three hours I've been tired more today I have a lot of stress at home right now though but for my headache I have tried food, caffeine and just now decided to take Tylenol my question is how did you get diagnosed with it? What were your symptoms? I have no vision changes pain or anything like that.
