Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns . A blood pressure of more than140/90 mm of Hg is worrisome at 36 weeks of pregnancy.
You should go to the hospital immediately as delivery might have to be conducted if the blood pressure is not controlled by medication.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
