What Causes Elevated Blood Pressure Levels?

I m on my fifth day on the way to being a non-smoker. I ve had good blood pressure with a beta blocker. Nw my BP is higher than ever. It s not because I m stressed or angry. I m not. So while smoking my BP was fine. Now I might have a stroke because I quit? I m not overweight & I ve quit a few times without this side effect. What s going on?

Hi...

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

First check your blood pressure level...
Normal blood pressure is 120/ 80mmhg..
More than that called hypertension.
Obesity, smoking, stress, family history all factor affect a blood pressure..
Consult your physical for further treatment.
Quite a smoking habit..
Take a low salt in diet.
Excercise 20 minutes per day.
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems.
Treat underling cause.

I hope this will help you.
Get well soon..
Thank you.
