High blood pressure

I am 35 weeks pregnant. I have very swollen legs and feet, my ankles are also painful. I have very painful lower back and left hip. There is a very sharp pain that comes and goes. When the sharp pain is there, my heart beats faster and am breathless. It takes a few minutes then it disappears. Are all these symptoms due to high blood pressure or its something else?

I had high blood pressure with my first pregnancy and I was watched by the doctor. My daughters were fine by the doctor did what she needed to make sure. Knowledge is power. I would suggest calling and making an appointment ASAP. It is better to go and be wrong then to do nothing. I will be praying for you.

It could be high blood pressure, or just the normal symptoms of pregnancy.

But you should not take a chance if it is high blood pressure, becasue you and your baby could both be in danger.

I would go and have the blood pressure checked straight away.... dont take any chances PLEASE
