Patient's question:
Mom and dad both have high blood pressure and often have high blood pressure. My father's blood lipids are also thick. I want to ask if it's okay to drink alcohol soaked with ginseng. My parents are about 50 years old. My father often suffers from headaches and takes many cold medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, and the like. My mother hasn't taken many medicines. Can you drink alcohol soaked with ginseng with high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
It is not recommended to drink such wine, as ginseng should not be consumed casually. Hypertension often involves liver yang rising upwards. Most people use ginseng, which is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire. If you have symptoms of hypertension, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor and should not be self-medicated. Treatment plans should be adjusted as needed. Hypertensive patients should not drink alcohol, including ginseng wine, as it has the effect of increasing blood pressure.
