High Blood Pressure

Does anyone else have high blood pressure? What do you do to relieve stress. I'm starting a new teaching job this year and it has made my stress level and blood pressure rise.

Re: High Blood Pressure

  • I do.. I walk, stay away from caffeine and food with a lot of sodium. And I drink a lot of water. Also take warm baths or showers not hot, that will also raise your blood pressure.

  • Thanks! I've been off vaccine since my last apt but it's still high. My dr recommends I walk in the evenings but not too much as I was not active before the pregnancy.
  • I have high blood pressure and was prescribed medication. I had never been on medication prior to my pregnancy but since being on the meds I feel so much better and they're completely safe for baby so if it bother you I would recommend talking to your ob about maybe trying a low dose?
  • I'm not in medication and she says it's not high enough to try medication but it is way to high. She is having me do a pristine test to see if it could turn into preclyanpsia. I think it has to do with when I go. I go right after school so I might need to go in the afternoon or morning.
  • I have high blood pressure. I have when not pregnant as well. I keep it under control with medication. I also try to avoid salt. I used to walk daily but now I'm on bedrest.
