Welcome to SR Clemsondoc. I had high BP and heart rate when I was drinking too, and also have been diagnosed with Anxiety since I quit - but I'm certain my drinking was making that worse too.
Anxiety itself can raise your BP and heart rate, so constantly checking it can actually elevate it too.
The good news is that you can absolutely make a huge change if you quit drinking. If your goal is to quit and stay quit you've come to the right place! Hope you can stick around and read/learn/share with us.
