Patient's question:
Hello, can people with high blood pressure drink baijiu? My dad has this condition, but he always wants to drink the baijiu that's kept at home.Doctor's answer:
First, high blood pressure cannot consume baijiu, because baijiu is a stimulating beverage. After entering the body, alcohol will cause excessive excitement of the sympathetic nervous system, which in turn leads to high blood pressure. Additionally, alcohol itself can cause certain damage to blood vessels, leading to issues such as atherosclerosis. Therefore, patients with high blood pressure should not drink beer and must quit the habit of drinking beer. The above suggestions can be used as a reference.
