I went to take a much needed rest today at work at the nurses station and I asked the nurse to check my blood pressure for me since I'm still super swollen. Well she checked it and it was a little elevated for me, 134/88, so I laid down on my left side for about 30 minutes and the nurse took my blood pressure again. It went up to 140/90! She suggested I call my doctor, which I did and they had me come in to check for protein in my urine just to be safe.
Everything checked out ok, my blood pressure was still kinda high but no protein. The doctor is concerned about my swelling though in my legs and feet and she wants me to go daily and get my blood pressure checked at work. I have another appointment on Friday to check it at the doctors office and if it's still elevated, they'll do some blood work to try and figure out what's going on.
I'll keep you posted!
