When I used alcohol....I too had high blood pressure
and took meds for years to keep it down...I was not a binge drinker.
within a few weeks after quitting....it dropped to normal
and has stayed there for 22 years...no more meds.
This may not be the same for you.
You are correct....seeing your doctor is wise
Good to know you did quit...early sobriety is difficult
but the results are worth the effort.
