Protein levels?

Has anyone else been told that their protein levels were high?   My blood pressure was still fine but they are concerned that my proteins were higher then what is the normal.   I'm trying not to stress out over it because that makes your blood pressure go up but it's not helping out too much at the moment.   I've actually been told most of my life that my protein levels were higher, any ideas how to reduce them too?

Yes. With my daughter i had preeclampsia.  Which is high levels of protein in ur urine and it also cause high bp.    They will do many cath samples of urine and if it gets to bad the will induce labor.   but they monitor u because if ur bp becomes a problem they can give u meds in ur iv when u deliver to bring it down.

My BP wasn't actually in the high range.  its just higher then what it was the last time I was at the drs. I haven't heard from them since I did all the tests so I'm assuming no news is good news?
