Morning. Well done on four weeks, pretty amazing stuff! Do not give in now whatever you do!

As for blood pressure problem, you need to book an appointment with the doctor. I do know that smoking increases blood pressure but that is the extent of my knowledge.

Get it checked out, you need to put your mind at rest if nothing else.

I've had it checked and was sky high, and yes I'm really pleased with myself

First of all, well done for getting to almost a month!

Secondly, like mushen and Lizzy say, I would see your GP about the high blood pressure. I have read a few articles where people report raised blood pressure after stopping smoking but it's best to get it checked out, whatever the cause.

Thanks for responding, yesterday my dizziness got so bad i had to get to my doctor 186 over 95, went back again today 160, and blood tests

Hope everything is ok, sure it will be. One thing is for sure, you're doing your blood pressure a favour in the long run by quitting!

I've never had blood pressure before even when i smoked

[Nozmo Valued Contributor in reply to Izzzy]

Maybe there is something in it! Hope it all goes well with the tests.

[mushen Valued Contributor in reply to Izzzy]

Hopefully the blood test will reveal the answer for you.

Well done on reaching your 4th week. I don't have any knowledge either of the raised blood pressure but glad you have seen your doctor to get checked.

Good luck with your quit
