I have drank lots of water today like usual. I am not sure where all of these symptoms came from. I am going home soon if this continues

Re: Am I getting sick or what?
I am no where near 35 weeks, but maybe you should call the Dr & see if there is something going around with those symptoms. It's the dizziness & the spots in front of the eyes that would bother me.
 Feel better

Thanks, I left a message for the doctor. I feel like I call them once a week at least but that is what the triage nurse is there for, right?

Re: Am I getting sick or what?
Are your fingers and ankles swollen? Do you know anybody that can readily take your blood pressure?

Yes they are but that has been the norm. I am going to go to the nurse on site for her to take my blood pressure. That is a good idea, I did not even think of that. Thanks

Re: Am I getting sick or what?
Hey girls,
I am fine, I went to the nurse at my job and my pressure was 158/72...which is very high for me (just last friday at the doctors it was 116/72) so the nurse advised me to go to the doctor. I did and when I got there my pressure was 160/80. They had me lay on my left side for about 10-15 minutes....the doctor then came in and checked my pressure again and it was down to 138/78  strange but good. He also checked my urine and found no protein. He said I may be coming down with a virus which could elevate my pressure so he told me to go home and relax. He also took blood to be on the safe side but he did not seem that concerned.
Thanks for the good thoughts girls
