   High blood pressure is not typically a symptom of PMS. Your diastolic BP i.e. the lower number is kinda high. Were you anxious or something when you checked it? Try this, sit quietly for about 15 minutes and relax yourself, then check your BP. And one reading doesnt mean anything unless it is high again when checked on another day.

   No. It is not a symptom. 131/98 isn’t good, but it isn’t terrible. I am on meds for it because mine gets as high as 170/100. That is terrible.

   Blood pressure should ideally be below 120/80. It would be a good idea for you to take your BP twice a day and keep a written record for at least 2 weeks. This would give your doctor useful information. One or two readings that are elevated don’t necessarily mean you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
