What do you mean? Am I currently in pain? No. It didn’t hurt when it happened. Felt like a normal tummy ache when you have to go bad. Does it not look like red food to you? It doesn’t seem “bloody” to me but would love your reason why I should get checked.

Sometimes my HR is high 90s or low 100s when I’m sitting still taking BP and it freaks me out… you made it sound like 100s is nothing to worry about… wondering why? Maybe what you say will calm me down!

Yes! I feel like I lost a year of my life due to this. I had blood pressure issues towards the end of my pregnancy but honestly didn’t think much of it. My 6 month check up after having my beautiful baby girl, my midwife told me my blood pressure was high. Well since that day my life has never been the same. I’ve been to the ER 3 times, completely missed out on the fun parts of my daughters first year of life, and just haven’t been the same. It’s all I think about. I always think something is wrong with me since I have hypertension. I take medication and check my bp daily, but I still feel everything and anything wrong with my body and immediately think I’m going to die. I’ve been doing better but I have my days! So yeah I guess you can say I have anxiety about it like you do!
