High bp. Should I go to ER?
I had an instance of high bp on Monday, but it went away before my doctor wrote me back.
I’ve been keeping up with it. It’s been normal, but as I’m getting ready for bed, I notice my ankles are swollen again. I check my BP. The diastolic is pretty high. I do have an appt at 10am tmwr. I really want to avoid the hospital if possible.
First check 142/100
Second check 137/92

Definitely go in!
You should always get checked out if your blood pressure is high. I waited too long with my son to be checked out and I had very bad complications during labor and birth. I’ve been more careful with it with my daughter. If your doctors office has a on call number, call that before you go to the ER. Where I am from, the ER won’t do anything for you baby wise after 20 weeks. They send you right to OB.
