High blood pressure or not?

I’ve been in hospital since Friday, my blood pressure started at 117/57 (perfectly normally) since then it’s creeped up slowly and is now sitting at 145/83, but apparently my trust don’t class anything under 137 high and won’t intervene or investigate blood pressure lower than 250 but surely that’s can’t be correct??? I feel like I’m going crazy and it’s like I’m making it up!!😐😣 also that I asked her to re do it as she took it while I was lying down and I prefer it when I sit up as it’s more accurate and got told it doesn’t make a difference😐

That's definitely high blood pressure. My hospital didn't let me leave when I had the flu and my blood pressure went over 130

I meant they won’t investigate below 150! I thought it was! I feel like I’m going crazy. Feet started to swell so quick last night, and it was like I questioned the doctors degree when I mentioned preclampsia, a midwife has handover over her concerns about my BP, my base line throughout my pregnancy and before was around 112/50 so even when it’s going and sitting at 135/79 it’s still high for me😣 I cried to the nurse yesterday because I feel like I’m getting brushed off and not listened too!

This is so odd. Did no one at least test your urine for protein?

So I’ve had elevated white blood cells and protein in my wee since 24 weeks, I’m now 37! I did a course of antibiotics at 34 weeks and my white blood cells went down to +1 however a week later back up to +3! Told me that because there’s no growth on the sample, it’s normal, there was also infection markers in my blood, only elevated a tiny bit again, apparently normal when pregnant
