Tired of this...
Got to the doctor's office this afternoon. BP was 178/110. Obviously way too high. My doc tripled my medication - 500 mg 3 times a day instead of 250 mg 2 times a day. Also, I have an appointment scheduled with my primary doctor (internal medicine) for an EKG and cardiac workup. My OBGYN wants to rule out any chronic heart problem developing before he sends me downtown to the high-risk clinic. I'm just so tired of this already...

I'm so sorry hon. I wish this was easier on you. You struggled to bring E and A home and this one is just making it a struggle in a different way.
I'm also sorry that this is so distressing. I am confident that you both will be fine, but I know this is a worry and stress. As Mel says, it is a different type of struggle to the end of bringing home that beautiful baby.
I'm sorry the meds aren't helping. Usually they will max you out on 1 type before moving you to another type. A high risk OB should be able to do more for you than an internist though. High risk OB can order the same tests plus better monitor your meds and treatment.
