Yes: BP and heart rate are elevated. If you did not see a doctor today for this, you need to see one now. Get well soon.

Yes: Any blood pressure equal or above 140/90 during pregnancy requires further evaluation. Yes, you need to be seen by an OB for further testing and closer monitoring of your pregnancy.

Dr Machanic and another doctor agreed
