Should I be worried?

buddhabelly · September 2010

Yesterday I had an appt. and my dr. got called to the ER so I saw the nurse practitioner. I had gained 7 pounds in two weeks, am really swollen, and my blood pressure was 134 over 86. He didn't seem concerned. Well, today I feel awful and am having a weird symptom...I'm seeing stars. It's only happened about three times and it's not really when I move abruptly. It just sort of happens. Should I be worried or just pass it off as having a crappy day?

That sounds like your BP is spiking..Yes call you doctor.

If this is not a joke: CALL YOUR DOCTOR. It's a phone call. I don't mean to be mean, but really?!?

BP for sure. I have had high bp every since I have been pregnant and last time it spiked I passed out. I would call right away.

My doctor would be spazzing out if that were me. My blood pressure was lower than that, no swelling but was seeing stars and had protein in my UA and she sent me rushing to the hospital to be monitored for pre-e.

I would be calling your doctor ASAP.
