Hi, i stopped drinking alchohol 6 days ago today, due to putting on weight more than me thinking i had a problem. As lots of my friends do the same!
However, i have drunk a bottle of wine a night for probably 7 years or so,I decided to stop, the trouble is i did not know the dangers, i have been to the doctors as i did not feel well my blood pressure was 189 111 she did not ask if i had stopped drinking etc and i did not think it was connected until the good old internet, anyway my blood pressure is going down to 143 100 and upto 166 100 now. I have no shakes sweating etc, my face is less swollen and red.However my ribs/chest feel like they have had a good kicking and i feel quite delicate, I have slept lots this week really well but feel very nervous and my breathing is anxious, last night i was sick and i had a headache for 3 days but that has now gone,can anyone tell me what is safer for me as i am reading different things and its very confusing and frightening, should i get one glass of wine to help my body even after 6 days or am i best abstaining, i should mention that i do not feel the need as this experience has scared me lots.I dont want to admit my problem to my doctor but could i still be at risk of seizures etc, many thanks for reading this, any help would be really appreciated..
