High blood pressure

I’m already diagnosed with with high blood pressure pre-pregnancy. Noticing that the last couple of weeks when I stand up can get a little off balance, dizzy and seeing white patches. I went to my doctor he said it could be my blood pressure and to keep an eye on it. But it’s actually pretty good (120-130 systolic over 80). Pregnancy it’s usually 130–140 over 90s. (If anything pregnancy has improved my blood pressure, but it maybe with the sudden changes I feel dizzy?) Anyone else have the same experience?

The same thing is happening to me and I don’t have high blood pressure! The spotty vision, the dizziness and off balance. They told me it’s because of the increased blood volume. To just take it slower because our bodies are adjusting. 🥲

Yes! I’ve had some history of fainting and seizure and I actually had a seizure the morning I found out I was pregnant. I’m thinking it’s my vagal nerve. Where my heart rate and blood pressure drop at the same time. I was recommended to try gargling and humming to activate this nerve more.
