Hi All,
I had my baby a week ago today. Since then my resting heart rate is mid 60s (usually mid 70s) and drops to 50 when I'm sleeping. I had high bp they were monitoring near the end of my pregnancy (usually around 138/87). Last night I took my bp and it was 166/97 and 158/90...has anyone else experienced this? Is this considered normal? I'm also having palpitations and am breastfeeding.
I have had bouts of anxiety in the past and I'm sure worrying about this is not helping. I have an appointment next week to see my doc about it but don't want to worry until then.
