Glad you're here and glad you posted. I had those early heartbeats too. What I came to realize was it is was just fear (false emotions appearing real) and my body wasn't connected with my spirit which wanted me being much better to myself. In recovery I am learning to be good to myself one moment at a time and make choices that are really really hard sometimes but est for my well-being and therefore those I would help around me.
God bless
Keep up the good work
A regular AA meeting schedule and an experienced sponsor can make all the difference

I got a tooth pulled about a year ago,and they took my blood pressure right before doing it. Unbelievably it was perfect.

I was ALSO at the dentist recently (been sober 17 months now) and it's normal! Thanks for sharing.
Our bodies heal immensely when we stop poisoning them. The first year is miraculous.

I'm having a similar existence with blood pressure. I was typically 140/90 with meds before sobriety. I've now halved the meds and I'm 127/75. I'm going to try without any next week and see where I am. I'm only 62 days sober. So this is really great that the blood pressure is coming down.
