Quit drinking and smoking cold turkey 9 days ago and my BP is about 140s over 80s (was observed to be even higher about 72 hours in).
For reference, I’ve always had a low sodium, plant-based diet and never really had elevated blood pressure before I quit.
Just curious if this will ever go down on its own, my plan is to wait a couple weeks and see, but curious.
I’m not a doctor. I am a volunteer at an addiction recovery org. I see a lot of people starting their journey, and there are all kinds of responses to quittting, a few involve the ER. The only advice I would take here is “see a doctor”
