I had the exact same thing happen to me Miami. I know in some cases it really didn't stabilize for about a week. I found that every time I drank to excess this was happening and, in my case, this was almost every time I picked up the bottle. I can't give medical advice, but I found that the only way to get my pressure and heart rate to be stable was to avoid drinking altogether. I have seen a world of difference in my overall health and quality of life in general. You definitely don't need the stress that high blood pressure puts on your heart and since you said yourself that you have too much to live for why not give an alcohol free lifestyle a try and see what happens to your life as a whole?
