Stopped drinking alcohol just 10 days ago btw I was a binge drinker once or twice a month. My blood pressure has already dropped 15-20 points. Can't wait to see my 90 day update.

Did you get any tightness in your chest and shortness of breath when your blood pressure way up when you were drinking?

Tonight I had a scare I recently quit drinking and I'm currently on day 4 no alcohol which I mostly drink beer with high alcohol content. The last couple days my BP was was 147/90 the next day it came down 134/85 which I was feeling good about myself. Tonight I wanted to check it because I record my BP and the amount of exercise I do on a daily basis. Tonight I was shocked it went up to 156/98 after that I went into an anxiety attack and I almost went to the emergency room. Is this normal? I mean I eat alot of fruits and vegetables and don't eat lots of salt or fast food. I go for long walks ranging from 3 miles to 7 miles 4 days a week depending on weather and how my body is feeling. Did you experience this on your journey???
