My bp showed 140/90 at the clinic today and the sister gave me a slightly worried look. Im 30 weeks now. I'm going to ask my gynac properly but till then im a bit tense, is this number something to worry about?
Yes, 140/90 is high and needs medical attention. When my BP went up slightly, my hospital's emergency team asked me to come in for monitoring. Please call your hospital's helpline or gynac immediately for advice.
Actually, that is considered the cutoff for high BP. My doctor told me to report immediately if my readings touch 140/90. Are you having any other symptoms like a headache or blurry vision?
According to clinical guidelines, 140/90 mmHg is the threshold for gestational hypertension. My doctor explained that high BP can affect blood flow to the placenta, so they monitor it very closely. You should definitely contact your obstetrician right away.
That is definitely high BP, so please don't ignore it. The third trimester stress is enough to raise anyone's BP, but this needs a doctor's check. Lie down on your left side and call your gynac right away!
Beta, 140/90 is on the higher side, so you must be very careful. Don't take stress, reduce salt in your food immediately, and take complete rest. But please call your doctor right away to let them know.
High BP can be very risky during pregnancy, so please don't take this lightly. Call your doctor immediately and drink some water to stay calm. I know you must be feeling anxious, but getting it checked right now is the best thing to do.
