Hi,
You may have a condition called post partum pre-eclampsia in which a woman can have high blood pressure after delivery. Please get your pressure monitored twice daily at least for 3 to 5 days and also get your urine tested for protein. Pl visit a physician or a gynecologist if above investigation and monitoring is found to have any abnormalities for further management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
