What are the consequences of high blood pressure and frequent alcohol consumption?

Patient's question:

In my hometown, there is a relative who already has high blood pressure. He also loves to drink beer. What are the consequences of frequently drinking beer with high blood pressure?

Doctor's answer:

If you already have high blood pressure, it is advisable to drink less beer in this situation. If the high blood pressure condition is not well-controlled and poorly managed, drinking beer can easily cause blood pressure to rise further, becoming more severe. It may also lead to recurrent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease emergencies. Therefore, in this case, it is important to actively adjust and, as much as possible, avoid drinking beer while taking antihypertensive medication to lower blood pressure to normal levels.
