Tara,
MY BP was also very high when I was drinking every day. It went way down to a normal level when I stopped drinking. I'll bet your BP will go down too with complete abstinence. If you stop drinking then you probably won't even have to try anything else.
I'm glad to hear you are done drinking. I used to try any and everything to lower it without stopping drinking. Anything but stopping drinking! If you never drink again, then I think it's okay that you didn't tell your doctor about your drinking history. If you relapse, even once though I would tell them honestly. The only way they can help us is if we are honest with them.
