Hi, i do care for your concern.
In post partum period the body undergoes changes to revert back to its normal state.
hence fluctuation of blood pressure in this condition may be normal, also do compare with pregnancy levels. so need not panic.
However increased blood pressure even after 6 months post partum needs intervention and medications to lower the blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Thank you.
