Sorry to hear Flor!. :( Hope she gets better!. And everyone is sure it's not just nerves!? I mean right before the dentist and all!? One time I got really nervous before a blood pressure test and it was way off my normal reading!. Still it's always best to just see the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Flor if you cry and beg you're making matters worse!. Although I understand that you're upset, you need to stay calm and keep a level head!.

I've had high blood pressure for almost 6 years!. One time when I went to the ER it was 190/130!.
You wanna be concerned over the bottom number, that's the bad one!.

It's also normal for her blood pressure to go up when she goes to the dentist or the doctor!.

She probably would have been perfectly fine going to the dr today!.

They'll probably prescribe her some Blood pressure meds and baby aspirin!!!

It's not at a level where it is totally out of control!.

She'll be ok :)

Good luck to you and your mom!. I hope she feels better soon!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
