Not to get worried really but do check your blood pressure if that is too high above 140/90, and fluctuating a lot then I suggest to visit your neuro and change the blood pressure medication.
Apart from this if you feel headache, nausea, vomiting, or weakness in legs or hand, and speech disturbance then immediately take medical services at near by hospital. Rest all looks normal post stroke for few days this kind of symptoms are normal. Take care and don't worry.
