You will notice after a month or so of quitting smoking that your BP will go down.
High blood pressure runs in my family so I'm a high risk for heart disease and heart attacks no matter what I do. Giving up smoking is always a good plan though. While I've never been a smoker myself, I have seen the change it's brought about in lots of people around me, including my father, who is healthier now in his late 60's than he was in his mid forties.Best of luck to you, and if there's anything at all we can do to help, just let us know- we are all here for you!Def
My former boss used a prescription pill to quit smoking, I just don't remember what it was. It worked great for him.
I quit smoking almost 6 months ago and I feel much better, I cold turkey but a friend of mine that has been smoking for 40 years also used prescription pill and they worked like a charm, the only downside is that the pills a very expensive.John, best of luck. You have a hard time in front of you but in the end you will make it.
