Cannot figure out what is wrong!

I know something is wrong and I cannot figure it out and doctor isn't really finding anything. 

I am 29yrs old, 25 weeks and 4 days pregnant. We do not know the sex. 

About 2 weeks ago I started feeling very off, I felt like it was my blood pressure so I started monitoring it. I was having right shoulder pain like I slept on it wrong, it hurt so badly to breathe in, I felt very out of it like I couldn't stay focused or have a conversation. I started getting the back pain and nausea then broke out in a fever and chills but wasn't sick  as well as constant headaches. I thought for sure I was starting to develop pre-e but I have zero swelling and my blood pressures were great. 116 or 115 over 60's repeatedly. That is normal for me. I asked to have my liver count checked because it was high in the beginning of the pregnancy as well as my urine to see if I was spilling protein. My liver count came back normal and the protein came back, "trace." So nothing is really screaming out. I do have a history of high blood pressure, been induced with 3 pregnancies due to it but all late in the pregnancy, 37 weeks, 38 and 39. 

I figured this was just a fluke and who knows what's wrong. Then I went to my OB appointment this monday, 10.26.15, I was calm, had not been rushing, I was 15 min early to my appointment, my baby sitter showed up an hour early, I sat out in the waiting room for about 10 or 15min before even being called back and then when they took my bp it was 143/87. They had me wait about 20 min, drink some water, re-took it and it was 121/71 so they let me go home and asked me to send in daily bp checks every day for the next 2 weeks. 

I have been feeling off ever since that appointment, can't focus, feel sometimes like I'm about to black out, and again last night broke out in fever and chills which I still currently have but I don't feel sick at all, no nausea... no nothing just constant chills and breaking out in sweats and fevers. I don't get whats wrong with me! I've been monitoring my bp since the appointment, Tuesday morning it was 137/86 with a pulse of 129 and all I had been doing was standing up making scrambled eggs. So I went and sat down for about 15 min, re-took it and it was 123/74 with pulse of 110. I took it again later that day and it was 132/78. 

Yesterday my levels were 118/82 with 113 pulse and I have not taken it yet today because I take it at 10:45 every day. My top number keeps fluctuating but the bottom I feel is staying high or increasing way above what it's normal number is. I've always been in the 60's for the lower number and I'm no where close right now. Maybe it's nothing but again last night here I am with constant chills and a fever, breaking out in sweats, and it's continuing this morning but I don't feel sick. I know something is wrong but nothing is screaming out and the doctor can't really find anything either. Has anyone else had any issues like this? This is my 5th pregnancy, I'm not new to the game and definitely try not to complain over little things but I just know something is wrong. :-/  Any suggestions would help at this point!

    I'm not sure there's a lot more we can do/say that your doctor isn't (as he knows you medically better than any of us). I will say I have high blood pressure but I just have to keep mine monitored. My nurse has just told me to keep very well hydrated, eat as balanced of a diet as possible and when I get spikes in the bp to lie down on my left side (helps blood circulation) for 15 minutes or so and re-take my bp again. That usually helps with me but every woman and pregnancy are different and we all have different "norms". I hope everything works out for you!!
