Hi Wombles
You can have high BP without having PE. However if your BP goes too high then it could be a problem. Fortunately your BP can often be controlled with medication.
If you have any of the following symptoms you should get things checked out.
Spots or zig zags in front of your eyes for more than 30 seconds.
Dizzy and headache
Sharp pain just under your breast bone.
Swelling of your face.
