My BP has been ranging between 138/92 to 144/99 and my Dr told me that if it's over 140/90 you must go in to the hospital. Well... yesterday I did and at the reception they insisted I go in to the ER rather than waiting to see a free OB but the ER DR said that my 144/99 BP was absolutely no cause for concern and would not let me see an OB. He said if you insist on seeing one it's fine but he can say with certainty that there was no need for one, then he added, "you're skipping work aren't you?" as if I came in to the ER making a fuss because I didn't want to go to work. I don't even work. Today my BP is 138/99 and I have a headache and nausea and don't know if there's anything I should do? Anyone have any experience? I am 20 weeks now.
