I can only speak for myself here, but when I went into treatment, my blood pressure was 190/135!!! They sent me to the emergency room. I was put on medication for it for a month to get it under control. I haven't taken anything for it since! My blood pressure has been right around 110/75 for over 15 years. I think that it was a combination of the alcohol, junk food, stress and bloat that did it! It took a few months for it to get to this point, but it did come down. It took us a long time to get to where we are when we first enter recovery, it takes a little time to undo all the damage. I am glad you are under a Doctors care.
