Totally blown off by doctors because they know you have anxiety? My blood pressure has been high since having my c-section and I feel completely blown off. I'm being treated like just another anxious case and I can't seem to get anyone to take me seriously.

I have a touch of the baby blues, so I know my anxiety is heightened and I'm weepy, but I still know my body and something is not right with my BP. It used to be nice and low and now it's riding around 140/90. The other night when I panicked about it, it got up to 160/100 and I still don't think anyone is taking me all that seriously.

P.,

The doctors are likely doing a watch and wait for now.

If they were to treat you now...it is likely that the medication would drop you too low, once your healing is complete.

Surgery/pain will temporarily raise BP...and as long as it's not for a prolonged period of time...you are not at risk.

It will.come down soon, I am sure.:)

Thoughts and prayers for you guys!

Thank you, S.C.

I can't understand why no one has said that to me. Why would they not mention that pain and surgery could be having an impact on me?

I just get the sense that they are treating me like a head case. I think I may cry it out tonight to feel better.

Yes!!

This should have totally been explained to you.:(

Sometimes I think the medical professionals forget how it feels to be the patient...

Hey Larry,

Sleep? What's sleep? ;-)

I'm getting some here and there.

Baby's name is Ryder Joseph. He's a sweet pea, so at least that's working in my favor!!

Park,
Echoing SC in saying that surgery and recovery time are the likely culprits of raised BP. You went through something so major, not to mention you are on high alert being a new mommy again..

I'm confident everything will level out. Congratulations again <3
