Seeing spots?!

Is anyone else seeing spots? No not Dalmatian spots Cruela..... It is mainly when I quickly look a different direction, but it is kind of bothersome because it catches me off guard....the last time I saw dots my stress and blood pressure levels were through the roof. I haven't checked it yet because I am at work...so I am just wondering if anyone else has been seeing spots?

Re: Seeing spots?!

  • I have, also recently had elevated bp. I had a bunch of blood work done today to see if there is more to it but I have been having other issues in addition. Waiting to see what the blood work says but from what my ob said, the spots could be due to bp, blood sugar, or iron. She made it seem like that is fairly common though, I would still mention to to your ob.

    According to my doctor, that's a big red flag. If your bp is high, make sure to call your OB right away.

  • Thank you ladies...I have about 30 minutes or so left at work, I will take my bp as soon as I get home.
  • I would call your mw/ob, not just check your bp. Hope everything is ok!

    Yes, please let your OB know. Better safe than sorry as I just learned last week. Pre-e is no laughing matter. I felt silly being sent to l&d, but the doc was more than happy to see me and make sure all is well. Good luck!
