Many hypertensive patients, especially young male patients, are very concerned about whether they can still drink after the diagnosis of hypertension. Will drinking affect blood pressure? There were even friends of patients who came to tell Dr. Lan vowedly about his personal experience that "drinking can lower blood pressure." Let’s talk about the relationship between high blood pressure and drinking today.
1, will drinking cause high blood pressure?
The answer is yes. The onset factors of hypertension include genetic factors and acquired factors. The acquired factors include drinking, especially long-term heavy drinking, which will significantly increase blood pressure. Long-term small drinking can also cause a slight increase in blood pressure. These contents have actually been written into professional textbooks and guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

2. Why do some people have their blood pressure dropped after drinking?
As mentioned at the beginning, some patients suffer from high blood pressure, but they don’t believe that high blood pressure can’t drink, so they test alcohol, measure their blood pressure after drinking, or even after drinking a lot. The blood pressure drops, so it is concluded that drinking can hypotensive! This is a correct and wrong conclusion. After entering the human body, alcohol is mainly metabolized by the liver. Alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in the liver play an important role. Finally, water and carbon dioxide are produced and excreted from the body. Ethanol and acetaldehyde have a certain vasodilator effect, so we have seen some people who drink alcohol have some redness in their skin, especially those with "poor alcohol" because of slow metabolism. The blood vessels dilate and blood pressure drops. So this patient didn't tell lies, but what he didn't know was that after the alcohol metabolism had passed, that is, at night or the next morning, the blood pressure would rebound abnormally, which was higher than before. Nocturnal hypertension and large fluctuations in blood pressure are very unfavorable to hypertensive patients and are prone to cardiovascular accidents. Z1z drinks like this for a long time, blood pressure will get higher and higher, and more drugs will be taken, and it is difficult to control.

3, if you really want to drink, any suggestions?
People in society, sometimes drinking alcohol is really hard to avoid. Of course, it is best for hypertensive patients to be able to do not drink. If you really want to drink some alcohol, then drink a small amount of alcohol. How is it called a small amount? What wine to drink? Small drinking refers to the daily alcohol intake of men less than 25g and women less than 15g, which is equivalent to 50ml of liquor, 100ml of wine, and 300ml of beer. As for which one to choose, I personally recommend wine. It is not because wine contains the so-called "softening blood vessels" resveratrol. In fact, it takes a very, very large amount to have this effect, but because white wine is strong and stimulates the esophagus and stomach. Beer easily leads to high uric acid.
all kinds of liquor
understand? Drinking alcohol can lower blood pressure temporarily, and it causes blood pressure fluctuations, which will raise blood pressure in the long run. Patients with high blood pressure are not recommended to drink alcohol. If you drink alcohol, a small amount of red wine is recommended.
