Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year. I don't usually drink a lot of beer, but recently, because I often attend banquets, sometimes I drink a bit too much, which always causes me headaches and nausea. I have high blood pressure, which has been going on for about four or five years.Hello, can I drink alcohol with high blood pressure? If yes, how much is appropriate?
Doctor's answer:
When suffering from high blood pressure, it is recommended not to drink alcohol. Drinking beer can temporarily alleviate high blood pressure levels, but it can also affect heart rate. Additionally, high blood pressure can easily lead to cerebrovascular diseases, so it is essential to pay attention and avoid drinking beer. It is also important to maintain a calm mood and avoid strenuous exercise. Oral medication should be taken regularly, and long-term treatment is generally required for antihypertensive drugs. Developing good lifestyle habits and avoiding drinking beer is advisable.
