High Blood Pressure

How long does having high pressure last? I know the first 3 days of quitting it is high what about after that?

Thanks in advance!

That's something you'll need to check with a doctor on Michelle. I personally had high blood pressure while I was drinking and it did improve after I quit, but there are a lot of other factors that could can cause high BP too.

I had high bp while drinking. Normally it is on the very low side. It took a few weeks for it to simmer down and return to normal. I hate the feeling of high bp!!

Hopefully your blood pressure will improve the longer you're sober. So many factors are involved, I can't really give you an answer as to how long it'll take to stabilize.

If it continues to stay high, please see your Doctor. High blood pressure is serious.
