im 26+1 pregnant. and yesterday woke up with a severe head ache and then started seeing, flashing lights in front of my eyes and also this sounds strange but like i could see my pulse in my eyes. anyway i know this can be a sign of high blood pressure, so i asked my mum to bring a blood pressure monitor for me i took it, and it was 155/90 (im normaly around the 110/70 mark) it got me worried but then i started feeling better and the headache went and then bp went back to normal. then today the total opposite happend started feeling really dizzy and lightheaded and my heart was pounding, so i retook bp and this time it had dropped to 89/48 and pulse was 155.
i know the machine is quite accurate as my partner and mum took theres to be sure it was right and theres was normal. but now i dont know what to do as i know docotrs tell u not to check your own bp. but i just dont know what this could be. does anyone else know?
