Question about blood pressure
When I had my BP taken yesterday I had not had any alcohol since Sunday - and prior to that I had been drinking heavily. I just did a little googling about blood pressure and alcohol and realize that BP will increase when one stops drinking. This same thing happened to me 2 years ago, had my BP taken after a week of abstinence .
Once I got into regular exercise and no drinking my BP went to normal.
So, it would seem that if I had been drinking my BP might have been normal yesterday.
What a crazy drug alcohol is - no wonder we get so confused.
At least I know I can get my BP under control again without medication and I won't have to go on a low sodium diet (yuck). My BP might not be so great next week when I see my doctor (I think I also suffer from white-coat syndrome). I think I might see about purchasing my own BP kit.
Thanks for reading - I know I'm rambling around (I just did 25 min. on the treadmill!)
