Hi Starcco,
I have had high blood pressure since my first pregnancy when I was not drinking. It is hereditary and I have been on meds for a long time.
During the last 6 months of drinking my Dr doubled my meds and even that didn't work. Since stopping drinking it has come down to being normal, still on meds though because it is hereditary I probably always will be.
Do you have a family history of high BP? Be careful of thinking drinking is responsible for all health issues. Even 'normal' people get high BP and it is important to have it controlled.
Good luck and stay sober!
