Patient's question:
My husband has high blood pressure, but he still keeps drinking beer and smoking. I've also talked to my child about it many times, but he always brushes it off with us and doesn't change. Doctor, can people with high blood pressure drink beer and smoke? Will it help relieve high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your current condition, if high blood pressure reoccurs, it is not advisable to consume excessive alcohol or smoke. Long-term or heavy use of drugs or smoking often makes it easier to experience high blood pressure again. It is recommended that you consider maintaining a light diet and try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid overeating greasy, spicy, or irritating foods.
