I have blood pressure issues and high cholesterol and SILLY ME, I didn't realize the cholesterol could be related to alcohol. And it took the Sherlock Holmes in me to realize that my blood pressure was so high 150-98 due to withdrawals. 7 days of yoga and no drinking and it was back to normal. I am blessed in that way but I do hot yoga and I wondered if I was going to have a stroke doing the class. It is time to go back!
