If your doctor has classified you as "high-risk", then they will be monitoring you very closely when you visit as far as high blood pressure or any other medical issues you might be dealing with.
Definitely listen to them and tell them about your back pain/spinal problems (if they don't already know).
For your blood pressure, take things slow & easy. Being really worried adds stress which can increase your blood pressure, which isn't good for you or for your little one.
If you feel dizzy or see floaty "spots" in your vision...please let your doctor know right away!
Good luck and wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy!
