High blood pressure
Anyone else have high blood pressure? My blood pressure has always been elevated but not requiring medication. I did however have to take medication through my whole previous medication and have just been prescribed medication again. I thought I would be more relaxed about it this time round as I would know what to expect but I’ve just seen a consultant and my blood pressure went through the roof.

@Ruth that’s similar to mine. 132/84 was my average when I did some home monitoring for my GP at the start of my pregnancy. The problem is mine can take a while to come down and wouldn’t shift from around 152/113 at my consultant appointment with my heart rate at 120.
I was surprised mine came down so quickly tbh at my appointment!

My normal readings are on the higher end around 130/80-90... I think I get white coat syndrome and it goes up at appointments. My first reading at the midwife last week the top number was 159 but it went down on second reading. 🤷♀️
