First visit to the doctor's since the birth

I went in to see my doctor this morning for a blood pressure check since it was so high on the day of discharge from the hospital. It's still high - 150-something / low 100s. So, I'm back on blood pressure meds at least for a while. My doctor has me back on Inderal which is what I was on before. It's supposed to help prevent migraines (which it wasn't that good at for me) and it's safe for breastfeeding as well. So, I go back in another 2 weeks to recheck my blood pressure. In the meantime, I have to check it at home daily. There's still a chance that the high readings are due to the pregnancy which is what I'm hoping for.
