Blood pressure is 140/90 today?
Sept late last night, woke up early in the morning. I had a stressful day, didnt eat for like 4-5 hours and had a slight headache after that. Measured my BP and it was 145/90 in the afternoon and its 140/90 now. I feel sleepy and tired now. Am I suffering from high blood pressure?? Because when I measure few weeks back my BP was constantly 120/70

that is considered "borderline" high BP.
cut back on salt, relax, and check it again in a few days.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

That seems pretty high to me. I usually run really low on bp and I did before I got pregnant as well. If this is a change from your pre-pregnancy bp, then it is very likey is due to the pregnancy. I am surprised your doctor is letting you go so long past your due date with high bp. I am also surprised your doc did not check for blood clots on your leg since only one is swollen - I think I already answered a question from you about that and I had the same thing and my doc sent me directly to the hospital to check. If I were you, I would call my doctor back and mention my concerns. He or she should at least explain why he or she is not concerned about your bp and your leg. Sometimes doctors just don't think they need to explain what is going on - they can just tell you you are fine, and I hate that about them.

It is a little high not bad but if you think you have high blood pressure. Take 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar in the morning with juice or water it will not only lower your blood pressure but it will give you energy. You can also google the benefits of organic apple cider vinegar. If you want a a lot of energy you can add a tablespoon of honey to the mix and it is better than any energy drink plus it is natural.

The blood pressure level 140/90 is considered as a borderline high blood pressure. If the level is going to above this level, you may have hyper tension that is high blood pressure.

No, it does not mean you've got high blood pressure - you'd need more than 2 readings to reliably diagnose that.
My guess is your raised blood pressure simply means, as you said yourself, that you've had a stressful day and not much sleep.
