Quit drinking and smoking cold turkey 9 days ago and my BP is about 140s over 80s (was observed to be even higher about 72 hours in).
For reference, I’ve always had a low sodium, plant-based diet and never really had elevated blood pressure before I quit.
Just curious if this will ever go down on its own, my plan is to wait a couple weeks and see, but curious.
Are you monitoring yourself at home? It helps to log it for a bit. Besides, your PCP will love the data. A word of warning though, low cost models may have a relatively small onboard storage of readings. Like ten.
I learned the hard way.
