Has anyone been rescheduled due to high blood pressure? If so what were your numbers if you remember?

Not yet but these past few weeks my lower blood pressure number has been in the 90's. The nurse did say if it goes higher they might have to reschedule. I hope it doesn't go higher my surgery is next Monday.

Are you currently on blood pressure meds? This might be a sign to get to your primary care doctor to get that more checked out. I have high blood pressure and I have recognized some things that I can do to make sure my pressure doesn't spike at a visit. First, get there early. Rushing to an appointment can set me off. Second, once you are there, allow enough time to relax and listen to calming music/ocean sounds/etc for a few minutes. Then, go in to your appointment with a less-stressed feeling. My blood pressure is always normal when I do those things (plus take my meds). But if I get caught up in stress or traffic, then I am sure to be high even with my meds. Good luck!

I am worried about this too I never suffered with high blood pressure but I had a reading of 160/110 by a midwife at work (I'm not pregnant I just asked her to do it quick between her appointments) she told me to come back later and it was 135/92 not on any meds for it but been suffering with headaches recently will this stop surgery or if I go to docs will he give needs to lower this I have cut out salt and caffeine since this reading (4days ago) so hopefully that will go some way to lowering it
