Blood Pressure

Hi a little question, not directly related to D.

I remember on a previous someone mentioned how the consumption of alcohol affects your blood pressure for a number of days.

Now is this true for all alcohol, or just some more than others. Everytime I get my BP tested they always assume I've been on the vino rosso the night before! Also how long does it affect the BP for?

I've got a medical next week, and would like to do all I can to naturally have a healthish reading!

Are there any other ways apart from reducing drinking and keeping relaxed that can help out??

You could always try the line I use that I'm just anxious about being there. Only problem is, they stopped believing me now

According to this site, it can affect you for three days or so, I don't think the type of booze makes any difference:

Exercise helps, and little or no added salt to your food.🙂
