Patient's question:
I used to drink beer every day before I carefully checked and found that I had high blood pressure. Personally, I really dislike drinking beer. Recently, after a thorough check-up, I discovered that I have high blood pressure, and the doctor prescribed me antihypertensive medication. Can I still drink beer after taking the antihypertensive medication? Will there be any interference?Doctor's answer:
Upon careful examination, if high blood pressure is detected, it is necessary to take long-term antihypertensive medication. During the course of taking antihypertensive medication, it is important to monitor blood pressure data regularly to check for any abnormalities. Patients with high blood pressure should avoid smoking and drinking alcohol or minimize smoking and drinking beer. In addition to medication to control blood pressure, blood pressure can also be reduced through dietary control and physical exercise. In terms of diet, it is particularly important to pay attention to the fact that frequently consuming high-fat, high-cholesterol foods can also increase the risk of blood pressure rising.
