My question - does/did these BP spikes happen to other people after they stopped drinking? Not immediately but 3-4 days later after most of the alcohol left my system.
Alcohol wreaked havoc on my BP. I've been on BP meds for probably 10 years. When I stopped drinking on Sunday, by Monday or Tuesday my BP would be 160/110. Horrible. I quit drinking entirely and it has held steady at 130/88 for 2 years.
