Is this BP bad?

m_n_mwedding

So I am at work and I haven't been feeling right for a few hrs. I just checked my BP 1/2 hr ago and it was 140/78. (My bp's are pretty good when pg. last night it was 108/62) I also saw stars for a few min right before I checked it. I am waiting another 1/2 hr to check it again and if its near the same, I will call the dr. I'm also feeling weird. Like a little crampy. I am going to call after I check it agin, but is this a bad sign?

In my realm of BP's, it's not too bad. (When I got to the doc yesterday, mine was like 160/86, but then dropped to 132/70 by the time I left.) However, I would call just given the other symptoms you're having, especially the cramping.

Good Luck!  Give us an update.

You should call and as your doc -- when I hit 140 I was told to call....

140/80 is considered "high BP" by the AMA and is the number where a DR will start treating non-PG with medication instead of just lifestyle modification, I would still call DR, especially if you are dizzy as well. If you have diabetes, it should be no higher than 120/70. ( I work for a pharma co.)
