One More Thing

Another thing that occurs to me is that high blood pressure, while
certainly a serious problem, is NOT a short-term problem so much as
a long term one. You are not going to drop dead from it tomorrow, or
next week. So if you are having no symptoms, it might also make
reasonable sense to simply not worry about treating it for a while,
(or try non-medical ways of reducing it, like weight loss, reducing
salt, etc. and see if that helps) and then, once your baby is weaned,
you can start medication if necessary.
And one more thing.... if your blood pressure was not high before (
presumably you had it checked often during pregnancy at at your post-partum
check-up), you might look into other possible causes for the sudden
change. (High bp can be a symptom of OTHER diseases as well as a
self-contained medical problem.)
