High blood pressure help…?





I’ve been really, really stressed lately with a lot of problems happening in my life. Today I felt very short of breath, my chest was very tight and constricted, and I keep getting tingly/dizzy feelings. I decided to check my blood pressure, because hypertension runs in m family on both sides, and it was 146/98. I’m 21 years old. This, obviously, is very high. I’m still feeling it really strongly. I’m having a lot of trouble breathing and my chest is very tight. Does anyone know anything I can do to get myself to calm down a little so my blood pressure will drop enough that I feel comforable at least? I’ve been feeling this way off and on for a few weeks now but today it got a lot worse. If it doesn’t improve in the next few days I may go see a doctor… but are there any natural remedies I can try for now? i just get really frustrated when I can’t breathe good enough and my chest feels this way…

What can I expect at my first visit to a high risk doctor for high blood pressure during pregnancy?

I am currently 31 weeks pregnant with my first. At my routine appointment today my blood pressure was 140/90 which is high but usually it runs 170/80 which is very high. My blood pressure is always high at the office when they take it but i also have it checked by my mother who is a nurse every other day and it usually runs in the 130’s over 70’s. I am always nervous going to the doctor for checkups and I have no idea why. Anyway, my obgyn referred me to a high risk doctor and I was wondering what I can expect to happen at this visit. What are the treatment options and what are the odds that I will have to be hospitalized for the remainder of my pregnant or even deliver at 31 weeks? I am scared to death which i know only makes this worse as well but any serious answers would be greatly appreciated. Also there is no protein in my urine and i do not have gestational diabetes. I only get short of breath sometimes, other than that I feel fine. Thank you all in advance again.
