Thank you for your question!

In its place is self-psychologizing:"I'll just drink less alcohol, it'll just lower my blood pressure too, it's not a problem"

I'm sure the subject often encounters this kind of situation above 👆 It's really hard to say no when the old man is stubborn.

But is this idea really correct? Is drinking alcohol good for high blood pressure?

in the first placeIt is true that drinking small amounts of alcohol can lower blood pressure. But we must note that the alcohol in the wine into the body makes the capillaries dilated, to a certain extent, is to reduce blood pressure. But such a state is only[Transient]As the alcohol is gradually digested and degraded, the body's capillaries contract sharply again.

Between a drop and a rise in blood pressure.[Actually, blood pressure fluctuates wildly.]For hypertensive patients who are sensitive to fluctuating blood pressure levels, this poses a very high risk. Especially in hypertensive patients who already have atherosclerosis, large fluctuations in blood pressure are likely to make arterial plaque rupture and block the cardiovascular vessels, which in severe cases can causeStroke, heart attackand other dangerous situations!

ultimateAccording to your description, your father consumes two or three taels of white wine every day, and it seems to have become a habit. Please be sure to advise your father not to drink alcohol if he can, for the sake of his health and to control his high blood pressure.

As a son or daughter, when your father is addicted to alcohol, you can accompany your father to drink some tea and chat or go out for a walk, and let the old man cultivate other interests that are good for his physical and mental health, so that he can gradually get rid of alcohol from the mind to the body gradually.

Chinese culture is profound and profound, and the culture of wine is also very rich in content. Wine not only enhances the relationship between people, but also plays a very important role in the socialization of the common people in China, and even many literati and great writers write poems after drinking. Therefore, wine is everywhere in the life of the common people. However, after suffering from hypertension (primary hypertension), can you still drink? If you can drink, how much should you drink? You can't drink without control, can you? In fact, Dr. Zhang has already talked about this issue before, and today he brings it out again to emphasize this issue with you.

At present, studies at home and abroad have proved that moderate or higher alcohol consumption is a risk factor for the development of hypertension. China's Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension also clearly states that moderate or higher alcohol consumption is a definite risk factor for the development of hypertension. Studies have shown that drinking more than one tael of liquor per day increases systolic (high pressure) and diastolic (low pressure) blood pressure by 3-4 and 1-2 mmHg respectively.

And drinking more than a couple and a half of white wine may not only induce cardiovascular events, but also diminish the effectiveness of antihypertensive medications. So what is more than moderate drinking? In fact, this is a regulation, China's regulations are: white wine intake can not be greater than 1 two per day, beer intake can not be greater than 5 two per day, wine intake can not be greater than 2 two per day. China's cardiovascular experts after serious discussion, a comprehensive weighing of the pros and cons of drinking alcohol, that the less alcohol or the better, it is best to avoid alcohol.

Therefore, Dr. Zhang believes that it is best for hypertensive patients to abstain from drinking alcohol. If there are real difficulties, they should never exceed the limit of the amount I mentioned above. I hope this helps.

Effects of alcohol consumption on hypertension:

The study showed that heart rate and systolic blood pressure at all time points from 15 to 360 minutes after alcohol consumption were very significantly different from those before alcohol consumption, while diastolic blood pressure was only very significantly different at three time points: 15, 180 and 360 minutes after alcohol consumption.

Fifteen minutes after drinking alcohol, the heart rate increased significantly and the blood pressure also increased. Among them, the heart rate gradually accelerated, peaked at half an hour, then gradually decreased, and returned to normal heart rate after 8 hours; the systolic blood pressure peaked at 15 minutes, then gradually decreased but did not reach the normal level, and then rose to the peak at 3 hours and maintained it for 2 hours, and then continued for another 3 hours and gradually recovered to the pre-observation level; the diastolic blood pressure peaked at 15 minutes, then returned to the normal level at half an hour, and then increased with the rise of systolic blood pressure at 3 hours, but did not reach the peak, and continued at a higher level for 3 hours and gradually recovered to the pre-observation level. Diastolic blood pressure peaks at 15 minutes, returns to normal in half an hour, and rises with systolic blood pressure after 3 hours, but does not peak and continues at a higher level for 3 hours, gradually returning to pre-drinking levels.

After drinking alcohol for 15 minutes, the heart rate increases by 20 to 34 times per minute, and the systolic and diastolic blood pressures rise by 10 to 20 mmHg respectively, with the faster heart rate and higher blood pressure being maintained for more than 6 hours. If alcohol is consumed regularly, repeated multiple fast heart rates and high blood pressure will inevitably bring adverse effects and chronic damage to the body's cardiovascular system. This has been documented:The malignant effects of elevated blood pressure produced by alcohol consumption are still present, especially in hemorrhagic stroke.

Through research, it has been shown that patients who are already suffering from cardiovascular system diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia and hyperviscosity should be resolutely prohibited from consuming alcohol; even if those who do not have the above mentioned diseases, they should also control the amount of alcohol intake, which is beneficial to others as well as themselves, and the best choice is to use a low-grade alcohol, such as wine.

How people with high blood pressure organize their lives:

1. Combine work and rest, and rationalize your life

Rationalize your life, develop regular living habits, ensure adequate bed rest, moderate exercise, and take more soothing aerobic exercise. In winter and when there is a big difference in temperature, we should pay attention to keep warm. Be careful when waking up in the morning and going to the toilet at night to avoid cerebrovascular accidents.

2、Reasonable diet, avoiding tobacco, alcohol and salt intake

Alcohol and nicotine intake are linearly associated with blood pressure levels and prevalence of hypertension. Hypertensive patients should quit smoking or strictly

Limitations. Limit sodium intake. It should be light, as too much salt can scleroticize blood vessels and raise blood pressure, and should be less than 5g per day.

Good life from the beginning of health, the beginning of health, health science professional media!

Drinking alcohol does no good for people with high blood pressure! No benefit whatsoever! There's no benefit whatsoever! Say the important thing three times! People who tell you that drinking alcohol can cure high blood pressure are either stupid or bad!

Some people raise the bar, just say that after drinking alcohol, found that their blood pressure dropped. This is not without reason, alcohol into the body, our body's capillaries will appear temporary expansion, so the blood pressure will appear a short period of time, but wait until the alcohol is metabolized, the capillaries will quickly contract back, the blood pressure should be how high or how high!

If you see drinking alcohol as a good medicine for lowering blood pressure, then blood pressure is actually more risky when it is so high and low. Because some people with high blood pressure have been accompanied by atherosclerosis, the elasticity of the blood vessels decreased, just like aging rubber bands, all day long loose and tight, it is not possible to say one day will collapse!

When you have high blood pressure, there is no good way to honestly maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat a low-salt diet, exercise more, and allow yourself to have a smooth and soothing good mood. If these can't control your blood pressure, then honestly take your medication!

Don't use your body as a test case for rumors, the price of health is too high, for the sake of your health, for the sake of your life, try to drink as little as possible, not drinking is the real protection.

High blood pressure patients drink a lot of alcohol can cause blood pressure rise, aggravate the condition, and drinking alcohol can resist the antihypertensive effect of drugs, increase the side effects of drugs, is not conducive to the treatment of hypertension. Alcohol is high in calories, and drinking a large amount of alcohol can cause obesity and elevated blood lipids, which is not conducive to the control of hypertension. Hypertension is a high-risk factor for coronary heart disease, stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, diabetes and so on. Long-term heavy drinking by hypertensive patients can greatly increase the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Therefore, people with high blood pressure should limit their alcohol consumption and preferably abstain from alcohol. In addition, hypertensive patients should be careful:

1, eat a light diet with less salt, no more than 5 grams of salt intake a day, do not eat squash, pickles, salted duck eggs and other pickled foods.

2、Take antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a professional doctor, and do not blindly use, reduce or stop drugs on your own. Regularly monitor your blood pressure and adjust your treatment program according to the changes in blood pressure.

3、Eat less or no high-fat, high-calorie, high-cholesterol food, such as animal offal, fish roe, crab roe, fatty meat, pancakes, fries, potato chips, cream cakes, butter, barbecue, fried chicken, fried cake and so on.

4. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, at least 500 grams of vegetables per day, and five or more types of vegetables per day.

5, moderate exercise can reduce blood pressure, prevention and treatment of hypertension, you can choose fast walking, running, cycling, tai chi, dancing and other sports, at least five days a week, about 30 minutes a day, the intensity of the exercise is still easy, slightly warm, can talk to people, can not sing, the heart rate reaches (220 - age) × 60% or so.

6, anger, anxiety and other bad moods will also affect the blood pressure changes, to maintain a calm state of mind, openly face the disease, to reduce emotional fluctuations.

Let's start with the answer: alcohol is not good for people with high blood pressure!

We often say, for hypertensive patients, life conditioning is very important, but life conditioning does not wait for chaotic conditioning, for example: I found a good method, is to drink a teabowl of white wine every night (2 ~ 3 two or so), the amount of blood pressure will come down some of them, then I drink some wine every night on the good, and comfortable, and lower blood pressure, said that white wine soothe the tendons and activate the blood, can be really not false, stronger than the medicine too much la. Is this desirable? Of course not!

Why does blood pressure drop to a certain extent after drinking? Mechanistically speaking, alcohol will make the capillaries have a certain degree of expansion, while the effect of alcohol on the brain, will make people produce a sense of euphoria, emotional relaxation, these aspects of the role of some people in the drink, found that the blood pressure down, this is the role of drinking, but long-term drinking, for the cardiovascular system of the harm is far greater than this point in the lowering of blood pressure effect-! -

1. With prolonged drinking, alcohol enters the bloodstream and forms a certain irritant to the walls of blood vessels, accelerating atherosclerosis;

2. Drinking large quantities of alcohol over a long period of time, alcohol affects the health of the heart muscle, leading to a gradual loss of elasticity and causing chronic heart failure problems;

3. After drinking alcohol, alcohol can enter the brain through the blood-brain barrier within half an hour and stimulate the brain. Long-term drinking can increase the chances of senile dementia, and long-term drinking will also exacerbate the hardening of the cerebral arteries and increase the risk of stroke in the brain.

This is the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular hazards of drinking alcohol to hypertensive patients, while alcohol is also recognized by the WHO as a carcinogen, long-term alcohol consumption will increase the incidence of cancer, the liver, kidneys and other parts of the body have a great deal of adverse effects, alcohol consumption will also affect the body's uric acid metabolism, causing high uric acid gout and other problems such as the onset of these are the health hazards caused by alcohol consumption, compared to the health hazards of drinking alcohol every day after the blood pressure Lowering your blood pressure for a while, is it still worth it?

Hypertensive patients in addition to adhere to the reasonable use of medication to control blood pressure, life conditioning in a very important one is to quit smoking and limit alcohol, limit alcohol is a what concept? Men drink white wine, should not be more than 1 two, red wine not more than a cup, beer not more than 250ml, women should also be reduced by half, and also do not see the proposal to drink every day, every day to drink on the body of the hazards of the body is far greater than the body's health benefits, in order to be healthy, for the sake of the cardiovascular and cerebral vascular health and other aspects of the body's health, or to drink less.

Drinking alcohol is not good for people with high blood pressure.

I. The prevalence of hypertension increases with the amount of alcohol consumed. Although blood pressure decreases for a short period of time after a small amount of alcohol is consumed, a small amount of alcohol consumed over a long period of time can result in a mild increase in blood pressure; excessive alcohol consumption can result in a significant increase in blood pressure.

Second, if an average of >3 standard drinks per day (1 standard drink is equivalent to 12 g of alcohol), systolic and diastolic blood pressure increased by an average of 3.5 mmHg and 2.1 mm Hg, respectively, and the increase in blood pressure increased with the amount of alcohol consumed.

Long-term heavy drinking reduces the effect of antihypertensive drugs and increases the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage and myocardial infarction in hypertensive patients.

First, studies have shown that long-term heavy drinking will reduce the role of antihypertensive drugs. At the same time, hypertension is mainly damage to small and medium-sized blood vessels, including the cardiovascular and cerebral blood vessels, long-term heavy drinking blood pressure instability further damage to blood vessels, blood pressure fluctuations can easily lead to cerebral hemorrhage and myocardial infarction.

Second, at the same time, after drunkenness to the condition of the symptoms cover, delayed treatment, increased hypertension patients disability and mortality.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol is for people who do not have high blood pressure, if you have high blood pressure or try to quit smoking and alcohol.

The second uncle is a hypertensive patient, just found out that hypertension, blood pressure up to 180/110. second uncle in the countryside is a little famous chef, the village red and white wedding like to ask the second uncle to go to the banquet. more than 60 years of age, do things neatly, the body is also strong. It is a little reddish in color, and people say it's the second uncle's good color. Plus the second uncle and good drinking, a meal half a catty white wine casually. Until he realized that he was often dizzy, he found out that he suffered from high blood pressure.

Doctors recommended quitting smoking and drinking, and eating less food that was too salty and greasy. These suggestions were almost unacceptable to Erbo. The cooks who often fry food have heavy tastes themselves, plus the local diet is based on salty, numbing and spicy food. Less salt, feel tasteless. This "wine" Er Bo is also addicted. Not to mention three meals a day, at least two meals are to drink. Even if you drink alone at home, at least three taels. If you can't eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl, life is meaningless to you.

Under repeated passes of persuasion and strict supervision by the family, the food became lighter. Tobacco and alcohol were not completely banned, but also allowed to drink 1 to 2 times a week, each time up to one or two. The family wanted to let the second uncle completely quit smoking and drinking by gradually reducing the amount. In this way, more than a year down, tobacco and alcohol did not completely quit, blood pressure is always back and forth, sometimes high and sometimes low control is not good. In the middle of the year, he suffered two brain attacks and was hospitalized for treatment.

In the case of the second uncle, the effects of alcohol consumption on him are still quite significant. Moreover, the second uncle is a chronic drinker, and alcohol has a long-term effect on the autonomic nerves and cerebral circulation, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain and reduced cerebral metabolic function. This repeated nervous system stimulation can cause activation of the sympathetic-adrenal system, and blood pressure naturally rises.

Drinking alcohol invariably leads to the consumption of more vegetables and a subsequent increase in salt intake, which is also one of the causes of increased blood pressure. Studies have shown that drinking alcohol can also reduce the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs, and alcohol can also reduce the sensitivity of blood vessel pressure receptors, making it even more difficult to get effective control of blood pressure.

Not all patients with high blood pressure are required to drip alcohol, really can not do, or need to use a quantity of restrictions. Such as white wine should not drink more than one or two; red wine should not be more than two; beer do not exceed five two. Of course, by their own willpower to quit the wine, that is better.

Thanks for the invite.

Drinking alcohol is detrimental to patients with three highs, including those with hyperuricemia. It is recommended that patients with three high and high uric acid patients should not drink alcohol, although it is not forbidden to drink a drop of it, but if you want to drink it, you must be in a period of stable control of your condition, and if your blood counts are very disturbed, it is best not to drink alcohol. If you drink alcohol, you should choose a low degree of alcohol, try to avoid drinking white wine.

Hypertensive patients should not drink, if you must drink in the case must not drink too much, toast when sip, drink as slowly as possible, do not relate well to a mouthful of boredom, this is certainly not good for their own situation.If a person with three highs is going to drink alcohol, it is best to limit their alcohol intake to 10g or less.Dietary guidelines recommend that the daily intake of alcohol for adult males is 25g or less, and for females is 15g or less. 25g of alcohol is equivalent to one bottle of light beer (750ml or so), one glass of red wine/yellow wine (it is best for patients with gout to avoid yellow wine, which promotes the synthesis of purines in the body), and two taels of white wine;For women, it is best to halve the amount of alcohol, and do not choose a high number of alcohol, for the body has a medical condition of three high, high uric acid patients are better to be a little more cautious, reduce the amount of alcohol to less than 10g!The best thing to do is to drink a little half a bottle of beer, half a glass of red wine, white wine is best not to drink. If you have to drink a toast to the occasion, we pay attention to the amount of control, in any case, they also have a cup can toast, mean on the line.

Alcohol, if ingested in small amounts, promotes parasympathetic excitation, which has a relaxing and vasodilating effect and can instead lower blood pressure, butAs alcohol intake rises, our sympathetic nerves get a boosting effect and our parasympathetic nerves are inhibitedSo much so that blood flow in the vessels increases, adrenal hormones are secreted, we're emotionally aroused and positive.This time the blood pressure instead of rising, for hypertensive patients is unfavorable situation. Some more serious hypertensive patients, such as also accompanied by coronary heart disease, angina and other conditions, if a drink blood pressure rise may be life-threatening, so must be careful.

The effects of alcohol consumption on high blood pressure are even more long-term.Alcohol is the most unfriendly to the liver, one will increase the metabolic burden on the liver, but also inhibit the liver's transportation and metabolism of fat, which may cause more fat hoarding in the liver, elevate blood lipids, but also increase the chances of triggering a fatty liver. And high blood pressure and blood lipids, blood sugar has a close correlation, if the blood triglycerides, glucose is too much, more likely to scratch the inner wall of the blood vessels, these are scratched inner wall more likely to solicit some lipoprotein attached, theIn the long run it may induce atherosclerosis, and it may also form blood clots that block blood flow, and in this way the symptoms of high blood pressure become more serious. So in summary, it is not recommended that people with high blood pressure drink alcohol, and if it is a situation where alcohol must be consumed, it must be consumed in small amounts and with caution.

Dr. Cardiovascular Wang is here to answer responsibly surely no good!

Some people say that they have high blood pressure and their blood pressure drops when they drink alcohol, yes, a small amount of alcohol may decrease blood pressure, but that doesn't mean that it's encouraged.

With small amounts of alcohol, blood pressure does drop at first, but then it rises again. And when you drink more than moderate amounts, your blood pressure definitely rises.

(Please see above image intercepted from Hypertension Therapeutics)

So in the long run, alcohol is not recommended.

The second point, antihypertensive drugs and alcohol. Some people say that if you take antihypertensive drugs and drink alcohol, you are not fine as usual!

You can't walk by the river without getting your shoes wet! Just because it's okay once, doesn't mean it's okay every time.

Antihypertensive drugs and alcohol may cause vasodilatation, and low blood pressure, or even shock and life-threatening.

Still, as I said earlier, it may not be dangerous to drink and take pills many times, but once you encounter it once, you will regret it.

Some people still do not believe, you can try to see, drink today, drink then blood pressure will indeed come down a little, a lot of people just think that wine lower blood pressure, but the next day, blood pressure will rebound higher!

Wine should be consumed sparingly, and things should be known!
