My MFM Doctor told me to monitor my blood pressure. Tonight, I was doing some homework with my oldest, and I felt very dizzy so I asked my husband to get the blood pressure machine. He didn't get it right away, so I started to get worried that it was high and that I wasn't going to catch it.
1st time--I was dizzy, had heart palps, and felt like I couldn't breathe. 133/77 109 bpm
2nd time--one minute later it was 131/76 95 bpm
3rd time--calmer (over 5 mins later) 119/73 89 bpm
Which one should I go by? Or does it seem like my machine is broken?
The worst part about monitoring is that I now want to do it to make sure I'm getting a good reading. This is just fueling my ocd and now I want to cry because I had broken myself of this, but now that I have to do it I feel like I'm going to go back to taking it at least 10 times a day, or 10 times in an hour :(
