Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion as the BP is normal there is nothing to worry.Its good to know that the BP is within normal limits.130/81 mmHg can be considered as normal.Anything equal to or more than 140/90 mm Hg is considered as abnormal.The headache can be due to stress or migraine.But the sad part of the thing is pain killers should not be taken.But only Tylenol is safe.Sometimes some non specific pains appear in pregnancy which subside spontaneously before or after delivery.So relax and avoid stress.Try meditation and yoga as it might be helpful.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
