Patient's question:
I have rheumatic heart disease, but I have the habit of drinking honey water at night. I want to ask if people with rheumatic heart disease can drink honey water at night?Doctor's answer:
People with rheumatic heart disease can drink honey water, but it should be consumed in moderation. If too much is consumed, it may increase the pressure on the heart. Since rheumatic heart disease requires strict control over fluid intake, it is best to drink less. At the same time, it is essential to control salt intake, follow a low-salt, low-fat diet, and avoid greasy and fried foods. The diet should be based on light and simple foods, pay attention to rest to prevent overexertion, avoid emotional excitement, and ensure sufficient deep sleep.
