High BP before detecting Pregnancy

Dear all,
This is my first post to Indus Ladies! Though I m your regular reader!

On the 25^th day from my LMP I had a sudden spurt of Blood Pressure. I immediately went to a General Physician who was a Lady. In spite of indicating to her that I have not got my periods yet and I am suspecting pregnancy, she prescribed a BP tablet. She said nothing will be a problem until 30 days. Somehow I was not OK about that and I didn’t take the medicine.
I took leave from Work and stayed at home the next 1 week. The BP stabilized to 120 /100. This 100 was not coming down. On the 34^th night, I didn’t the Home Preg Test. It showed a faint positive. I repeated it on the 35^th day morn. I got the same result. Then I went to a Ob-gyn in the evening. Since it was Saturday, most of the Ob-gyns mentioned in our forum were not available. That lady asked me to do a urine test in the lab there. The result was negative. She checked the BP, it was normal. She said we will wait for 1 week and then check.
However she completely ignored that I had a high BP the previous week. I will be repeating the tests tomorrow and going to a better Ob-Gyn.
But I am kind of worried why that High BP showed up all of a sudden. Does anyone have a clue?

Love,
SBNKA

Dear,
Could have been due to ur work pressure or anxiety...
So dont worry aoubt all that. Once ur pregnancy gets confirmed, docs would definitely hear to it and take care of it, coz all og/gyns would for sure monitor BP and weight at every check up - even if they dont, u make it a point to get it checked every time...
Dnt worry about it, there are medicines for it - if at all u have it.
I had BP and had a otherwise healthy pregnancy and normal delivery...
Wishing u the best of health...
