Anyone get High(er) Blood Pressure after quitting Analogs???

[Razorback]

Hey guys and gals! Just wondering if anyone else had experienced higher than normal blood pressure after quitting analogs? My wife has been quit now for 6 weeks, and is concerned about her blood pressure, as it has increased somewhat since quitting analogs. She's scheduled an appt. with the family doc, but I was curious if anyone had experienced this as well, and if so, did it eventually normalize, and how long did it take to normalize.......

Thanks in advance everyone!

it will go up if taken within 30 minutes of either vaping or smoking due to the concentrated nicotine. if taken later, it should be down. nic is nic and like taking her BP after several cups of coffee, both pulse and BP will be higher. when i go to the doc, or VA for my mandated check ups, i ensure that i don't vape or have any coffee at least an hour prior to going in so that it settles down to it's normal rate.
hope that helps. it's all just a stimulant which affects vital signs.

By the time I paid attention, my overall blood pressure was less with vaping than when I had stopped smoking for two days. It lowered even more 20 min after vaping.

if she's vaping, the nic will make the BP go up temporarily,,,,,,,

if she's vaping MORE than she's smoking (not unusual) she might consider going down on her nic level to accomodate.

I do get HBP when vaping ( 145ish/95) ( Im at 30-36nic) but other than that its down quite a bit (130/75), the Dr. even took me off of BP meds to see if anything turns up... when on BP meds and not vaping, it was low, lightheaded low, get woozy when standing up low...

My experience too, Bunnykiller. Within a few weeks of starting to vape, I started having orthostatic hypotension problems again. My primary care physician tells me my BP has dropped ten points on both systolic and diastolic, down to the 110/60 range. That's low for a 65 year old fat guy.

probably the first couple of days, but I don't think I do now.

She's been quit for 6 weeks or so now, gained some weight (15lb which can make BP go up), as well the anxiety level has gone way up, and I think these 2 are the primary factors. She doesn't vape a lot at all, and is using 18mg 100% VG juice. I don't think this is a normal occurrence, but wanted to see if anyone had similar results, and hoping it was only short term. We're hitting the track, weight room, and starting the Food Lovers Diet to control the weight (I gained some when I quit last year too), and seeing the doc as well.

Mine went down to 100/60 and I had a major heart attach 3 years prior..the doc was surprised I was doing so well!! it's been 10 months now at 3-6mg..

Im only 26 have been off analogs for 4 years vaping that whole time. Went to the doc in October he said my BP was through the roof. I'm fairly health, walk nightly with the fam, eat organic. Cut my nic down to 6 and went back to the doc in Jan, BP is perfect. Go figure.

My BP (I'm now 67) dropped 15 points, systolic & diastolic, within my first three months of vaping. Also my O2 absorption level went from 92 to 99.

Were you suffering any type of anxiety? Glad it leveled out and back to normal...

Blood pressure stayed about the same maybe a few points lower but my cholesterol went up
