high bp medication

[neetasd]

Hi , am 35 weeks and my bp showed high on a few occasions like 140/90, 146/90, 130/84..my urine also shows trace (very low levels) of protein
I have been asked to take medication for bp. But somehow dont feel upto it. I feel my bp is getting high due to anxiety and exertion at times
What do u all suggest? Is it safe to start medication?

It's ok according to my dr I do believe she said not to let it drop past 90 top number and 50 bottom.... But Def ask ur Dr because a big drop fast can shock ur placenta and cause problems.

Now that I have started with the meds my bp readings were 130/80 and 100/80 yesterday and today.  Is my bp going low..my doc told me to continue with the medication

I had hbp b4 the start of my pregnancy and when I found out the docs switched me to a better version for pregnant woman I have been taking 2 pills every day and I am now 23 weeks and everything is fine with me and baby it is much safer to take the meds then not especially since u have protein in ur urine that is a sign of kidney disfunction I would do as ur doc said to avoid any serious problems in the long run

I started bp meds at 28 weeks because my numbers where that and above the. They make you very tired at first but if that's what you need you should take it. I had my baby early 37 weeks because the meds stopped helping and it got really bad.
