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?

The tech told us everything was good but she didn't send them to our OB here yet.  The OB here was going to call for them this morning.   She had to manually enter them last time because her computer crashed twice on her during the u/s

So I did all the tests Monday and I didn't hear anything back at all... So Unless I hear something today I'm assuming no news is good news from my Dr's office.

I did all the tests today that they asked me to do.  I go back to the drs on Monday so I guess I get the results then.   I meant to stop after work today to check my blood pressure again just to make sure it wasn't high...but I got side tracked.

I'm not sure about chronically high numbers but I remember once my protein came back high with my first pregnancy and they just sent the sample for a UTI culture. Hopefully, it's something minor like that!

I was told that my protein was a touch higher than normal but its no concern.
