Your blood pressure may be up because quitting smoking can be a very stressful experience. Stress can raise your BP. However, I would make a visit to the doctor. Maybe he can give you something to help with the stress. Also might be good to just get it checked in case there is something else wrong. Congrats on be 8 days smoke free! That is really tough!
