I was treated for a intestinal infection on Sunday (food poisoning) I came in and my blood pressure was 95/68 and my heart rate was 108 or something like that. Kind of low so they gave me 3 liters of fluid because of dehydration. After that they tested me. (I had been resting the whole time) my blood pressure was still around 95 (It got up too 101) and my heart rate went to 115. (It was as how as 120) They were concerned because they said my heart rate should of gone down, and wanted me to see a doctor today (Which I will be) they wanted me to get more fluids but that seems too be alot of fluids. Plus I am 7 weeks pregnant
They seemed concerned but still let me go. Has this happened to anyone or has anyone experienced this? Should I be worried the doctor is going to say something is wrong with me?
I believe I did point out I was dehydrated to the person who said I was. Please read my whole question. I was treated with 3 liters of fluids which they felt was alot and I still had a high heart rate and low blood pressure

I would get a 2nd opinion. Did you have a physical before your pregnancy? What kind of shape were you in Blood Pressure & Heart Rate (base line)? I would have some blood work done, to make sure everything is o.k. & stay well hydrated.
It’s good you got treated and checked out as pregnancy can jeopardized in these kind’ve situations. Stay hydrated drinking lots of fluids and rest.
dont be too worried, they won’t let you go if your situation is really bad. and your doctor would probably give you medications for the fast heart rate that is safe for pregnancy.. please dont just take any meds, consult your doctor first.
Nothing to be worried about The pulse rate may be high due to the infection and pregnancy The pressure down due to dehydration. do not worry your self it will be Ok but do get in touch with the doc for the one in the Womb.
may be dehydrated. drink some water.
I agreed with the others – no point in worrying. Obviously, something is not working right, but there are all sorts of odd things that can happen during pregnancy. If you never had blood pressure or pulse problems before the pregnancy, then it is probably not a serious problem and instead is related to some type change due to the pregnancy.
You should take you pulse in the morning when you first wake up, and before you get out of bed – this is your resting pulse rate, and that’s the rate that is important. A typical resting pulse rate is around 72 beats per minute. For me, my resting pulse rate has always been closer to 80, and i don’t have high blood pressure or any other cardio-vascular problems (that I know of). Its possible that anxiety from visiting the doctor is causing your pulse to rise. I have ended up in the ER several times in recent years for injuries, and the last time this happened after breaking my arm, my pulse rate was around 120 at the hospital, and 90 a few minutes after i got home.
