My weight has went from 142 to 146.5 in the last week. I woke up with a headache, so I checked my BP and it is also up 126/77 which is high for what it has been lately on the meds. I have been about 98/49-111/50. I just remember for weeks before I knew I had ppcm I had a bad headache and It is starting to worry me. I dont want to call a doc on Sunday. I am one of thoose people who do not like to brother a doc.
Any advice? Does it seem that I should call?
Thanks
Devra

By all means contact your doctor with these questions, and especially because you are still very early after diagnosis of PPCM. Your blood pressure does not seem very concerning, but that much weight gain when you are still in heart failure is of concern.

Call. Doctors know they're always on call. I know how you might feel, but this is important. Let us know how things go.
