To be honest I wouldnt have done it cold turkey. Then again I'm not a doctor and cant really give that type of advice.
I would be very careful trying to detox at home and if necessary keep in touch with your doctor regularly, reporting anything you arent comfortable with, dont hesitate to go to the ER etc.
Other then that, glad you are wanting to sober up! My BP was sky high for a long time while drinking and it eventually evened out a bit after a couple months of sobering up however, everyones different so good luck and stick to it!
