How long does blood pressure take to normalize?

I am dealing with a wave of emotions and I don't know how to process this.

I delivered at full term and 3 days post partum experienced pre eclampsia (high BP and high liver enzymes). I got readmitted to the hospital and received the magnesium treatment. I got sent home on nifedipine 30mg that I took it once per day. My blood pressure started dropping around 5 weeks post partum (low 90's / high 60's). Liver enzymes normalized about after stopping the meds.

Now 11 weeks post partum, my blood pressure is elevated (130+ / 90+). I am already dealing with the trauma of pre-e treatment. I am sad and scared. I will make a doctor's appointment tomorrow.

Has anyone experienced this? What was your outcome?
