I quit marijuana and my blood pressure went up
I was a daily user chronically of vaping flower and using 510 carts.. I eat clean and exercise regularly and have a perfect sleep with my apap machine. I decided I no longer needed to use marijuana at all in my life and just become straight edge that was 35 days ago.. The day I quit marijuana my blood pressure was 114/70 and about 3 days Into sobriety it went to 147/85 . This is with a 20 minute rest prior to taking bp at home. I am 46 years old and still feel the aggression of not having marijuana in my system and it seems that that will take about another month or so to balance out.
I understand weed is a vasodilator with chronic use as well as what it does to the central nervous system and adrenals..
All of the studies online that show that people have high blood pressure after they quit using pot don't follow up months later to see what it returns to..
I have reached out to a friend of mine who owns a rehab clinic down south in California and he said three months is the normal amount of time for the body to figure out what it needs to do.
Has anyone here had high blood pressure after quitting and have it returned to normal months later.
I am already using hibiscus tea and other natural items like beetroot powder and garlic pills.. I just started the tea last week and I read it takes about 2 weeks..
Almost all blood pressure medicine causes hypoglycemia and I have grandmal seizures in my sleep when my blood sugar crashes to around 50 or so.. I wear a Libre cgm And I definitely have reactive hypoglycemia as well as glycogen storage disease. I'm not able to do a glucose tolerance test when fasted.
Any help would be appreciated Three of my four doctors are all alright waiting for a little while because my blood pressure isn't super crazy high..
Thank you
Edit
I'm 2 months sober and now getting back down to a acceptable blood pressure of 132/72 pulse 54. So it's a waiting game.. also hibiscus tea fucked me up and raised my bp.. thank you all for your insight.
