Think only thin getting to ER would do is mean more $ that I don't have and they would refer me back to my GP like they did when I was released.....
I also have HBP. I have an at home cuff just for peace of mind.
I did find that when I first stopped drinking that any exertion at all drained me. And panic attacks? Totally. I'm glad that you are in regular consultation with your doctor and taking care of yourself.
It has been my experience that these things did subside. It's been a long haul but worth every step.
