Whenever you see a patient with high blood pressure, either in the outpatient clinic or in the inpatient unit, you will be advised to stop drinking and smoking. Of course, the number of patients who can actually quit smoking and drinking is very small, because most patients feel that their doctors are trying to scare them. Others would say that there are many more of your doctors who drink and smoke.

Dr. Wang asked rhetorically: "Then you don't see that doctors still get lung cancer and stomach cancer. We are equal in front of the disease, the harm of tobacco and alcohol to human beings is becoming more and more clear, more and more data show that long-term smoking and drinking will cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the high incidence of cancer. So can people with high blood pressure drink?

Some people will say, I usually drink after the blood pressure is still better than usual, yes, after drinking alcohol, some people's blood pressure will indeed decline, which even hypertension book also clearly pointed out: 1, a small amount of alcohol after a short period of time, blood pressure drop, but 6 hours after the blood pressure on the rebound elevated; a small amount of long-term drinking, will make the blood pressure mildly elevated excessive drinking, blood pressure significantly higher; blood pressure increase with the amount of alcohol consumption increased and increase. A part of the people just after drinking to measure blood pressure, indeed may be reduced, but then rebound, we can not always take just after drinking that blood pressure, we have to look at the overall long-term blood pressure level.

Long-term drinking will raise blood pressure, not only that, long-term drinking will also be a burden on many organs of the human body, drinking alcohol leads to cerebral infarction cerebral hemorrhage incidence increase; drinking alcohol leads to a decline in cardiac function; drinking alcohol will cause most of the cardiovascular disease high incidence; drinking alcohol will cause a significant increase in mortality. And high blood pressure itself is a high risk factor for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure drinking is like adding insult to injury. Regular drinking, not only will raise blood pressure, will damage the liver, damage the heart, damage the gastrointestinal tract, damage the brain, and will affect life expectancy! It is definitely harmful to the body!

With 245 million hypertensive people, is it just a drop in the bucket?

Dr. Wang said above, even if we advise people to quit drinking, it is estimated that the vast majority of people still can not quit, then can not quit, we must drink less. The body is their own, no one can replace the difficult, lying in a hospital bed only the closest people will take care of you. When you are lying in the hospital bed and a few table friends to visit you? And how many of your drinkers to visit you?

Alcohol is not recommended for healthy people, of course, but sometimes that's not realistic, if you drink:

Men should not exceed 25g of alcohol per day and women should not exceed 15g of alcohol per day.

25g of alcohol is equivalent to 750ml of beer, or 250ml of wine, or 75ml of 38 proof liquor, or 50ml of high proof liquor.

Friends, if you drink alcohol preferred a small amount of red wine.

Of course, there are great individual differences in drinking, some people just don't get drunk all right, and some people will get drunk even if they drink one glass!

But the general rule is don't drink too much. Even if you can drink, it's hard to drink too much!

It's not that getting drunk is what breaks your heart and hurts your liver and hurts your stomach, it's that every time you drink you really hurt your heart, you hurt your liver, and you hurt your stomach.

Hypertension is not strictly speaking something that can't be eaten at all, but only the amount, frequency and manner. Good lifestyle habits are essential for long-term stable blood pressure control and an important basis for preventing complications. According to existing research and guideline opinions, we suggest that hypertensive patients should preferably refrain from drinking alcohol, especially if their blood pressure has fluctuated greatly recently and their condition is unstable. However, there are no absolutes. Hypertensive patients with stabilized blood pressure and satisfactory control of their condition can also consume alcohol appropriately, but the amount of alcohol consumed must be controlled.

For normal people, moderate drinking has the effect of relaxing the meridians and collaterals, improving circulation, and helping to sleep. However, for hypertensive patients, drinking alcohol (especially excessive drinking) will cause blood pressure fluctuations, damage the endothelium of blood vessels and increase the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease accidents. Hypertensive patients must drink alcohol on the basis of satisfactory control of blood pressure, and their daily alcohol intake should not be more than 25g for men and 15g for women (equivalent to 350ml of beer, 150ml of wine, 50ml of 30-degree liquor or 30ml of 52-degree liquor), preferably wine. or 30ml of 52-degree liquor), and it is best to drink wine.

Good habits is necessary to control hypertension, we recommend that patients with hypertension should pay attention to daily life: ① low-salt diet, no more than 6g per day, preferably no more than 3g; ② appropriate exercise, light to moderate aerobic exercise is the main focus of gradual, not forced; ③ strict smoking cessation, already smokers must quit; ④ maintain a good state of mind, avoid anxiety, depression, anger, etc.; ⑤ regular work and rest, to avoid exertion, late at night, etc.; ⑥ active weight control, obese people should pay attention to weight loss (including abdominal obesity) attention. Regular work and rest, to avoid fatigue, stay up late, etc.; ⑥ active weight control, obese people should pay attention to weight loss (including abdominal obesity) attention.

Patients with hypertension also need to be treated with medication under the guidance of a doctor, and the medication should be individualized, with preference given to long-acting preparations. The process of drug use should pay attention to the monitoring of adverse drug reactions, regular review, and daily monitoring of blood pressure changes.Thanks for reading, this article was originally written by General Practice Sweeper on Today's Headlines & Wukong Q&A.

Wine culture in our country can be said to have a long history, drinking alcohol many people believe that there are blood circulation and stasis, and even many people believe that drinking a particular health wine, can prolong life and get rid of the efficacy of disease. Is this really true? Is it possible to drink alcohol with high blood pressure? Drinking less is not really have the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis?

First, can you drink alcohol with high blood pressure?

High blood pressure of course you can drink, China currently has 270 million people with high blood pressure, and the majority of men, every time to 5 people have a high blood pressure patients, so high blood pressure does not drink estimated impossible. And around us there is no lack of many hypertensive patients drinking live examples, so of course hypertensive patients can drink, just drinking for hypertensive patients, harmful and not beneficial. So the statement that high blood pressure can't drink is certainly not true, just that people with high blood pressure are not recommended to drink, because drinking is not only not good for high blood pressure, but also not good for other diseases and our body.

Second, can high blood pressure drink less alcohol?

It is also very common to hear rumors about how drinking alcohol can lower your blood pressure, or how drinking less alcohol can lower your blood pressure. Is this really true? It is clearly stated in the textbook of internal medicine that the blood pressure of hypertensive patients will be temporarily lowered after drinking alcohol, but the blood pressure will soon rise and may be higher than the original blood pressure. The textbook also states that there is a linear correlation between the amount of alcohol consumed and the level of blood pressure, especially systolic blood pressure, and that the incidence of hypertension is significantly higher in people who drink more than 50 grams of alcohol per day. High blood pressure also makes it more difficult for hypertensive patients to achieve standardized rates of complications and hypertension control, so drinking alcohol, even in small amounts, is also not recommended for hypertensive patients.

Thirdly, is it really harmless to drink less to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis?

Among the rumors that drinking wine can invigorate blood circulation, many people even cite resveratrol, a special ingredient in wine, as one of the proofs that drinking less can be beneficial. However, the rumors were soon confirmed, animal tests found that to drink wine to achieve the dose of resveratrol to work, people will be stretched to death first. Moreover, the effects of alcohol consumption on human health are not only manifested in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular aspects, but also increase the occurrence of high blood pressure, oral cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer and many other diseases. Therefore, the impact of drinking on health is multi-faceted, and the latest study published in the Lancet on drinking shows that drinking less is not beneficial, and as long as you drink, you will increase the risk of disease and death. So the rumor that drinking less can revitalize the blood can be put to rest!

See what I mean? In patients with hypertension, alcohol consumption is not recommended, but alcohol consumption does not lead to acute events just increases the probability of hypertensive complications and related deaths in patients. Follow us to get daily updates on science tweeted to you.

Can hypertensive patients drink alcohol? This is a topic of special concern to many hypertensive patients, especially those male hypertensive patients who love to drink alcohol and ask this question in outpatient clinics or wards. Today, Dr. Zhang will talk about this issue so that those hypertensive patients who are particularly concerned about this issue can have a correct understanding of alcohol consumption.

First of all, it is clearly pointed out that most patients with high blood pressure can drink alcohol if their blood pressure is controlled smoothly, without special circumstances. Drinking can be, but the amount still needs special attention. Generally speaking, the amount of alcohol consumption is no more than 30g, that is, 50 ° white wine try to control within 1 two, beer no more than 750ml, red wine no more than 300ml.

Secondly, some drinkers will say: drinking alcohol lowers blood pressure! After drinking alcohol, the blood pressure will always be lower, how is this? Dr. Zhang also recognizes this argument, because alcohol enters the body, the initial effect may cause blood vessels to dilate, but once the effect of alcohol, the dilated blood vessels will resume contraction, and may be more serious, that is to say, once the effect of alcohol, the blood pressure may rise more obviously. If this process continues over a long period of time, most patients' blood pressure will continue to rise, and even the addition of antihypertensive drugs will not work well.

So, finally, to the high blood pressure love to drink friends a wake-up call, blood pressure is stable although you can drink, but in moderation, only self-discipline life, can have more wonderful.

Yesterday a fan gave me a message: 60 years old, has always been high blood pressure low pressure, but has a small hobby, before meals will drink a measure of white wine, every time after eating, high blood pressure will improve. Does this mean: drink a little wine every day, but on the contrary, to lower blood pressure has some benefits?

Many friends like to take their own individual cases, as a universal theory to share with everyone, for this friend's message, I would like to say two points: 1. drink a glass of wine before meals such a habit, really does not necessarily have an inevitable cause and effect relationship with the problem of postprandial blood pressure lowering, 2. long-term alcohol consumption, especially long-term large amounts of alcohol, for cardiovascular health, blood pressure control, is bound to be a negative impact! .

There are many people who have the experience of having a mildly high blood pressure and then measuring it after drinking a small amount of alcohol, but their blood pressure returned to normal. In fact, not necessarily, after drinking alcohol will be mood relaxation, resulting in a sense of euphoria, mood relaxation will be in some cases to make the blood pressure drop, but drinking alcohol is by no means the best way to improve and treat high blood pressure, and there are also some patients with high blood pressure, blood pressure after alcohol will be abnormal fluctuations in blood pressure, but to cause greater cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk.

For some elderly people, if they originally have high blood pressure and experience a decrease in blood pressure after drinking a meal, they should also consider the risk of postprandial hypotension, which is not related to alcohol consumption and is mainly due to the fact that after a meal, in order to safeguard the digestion of food, a large amount of blood flows into the digestive organs, and the blood flow to other organs is reduced, and theElderly people's blood pressure self-regulation function and weakened caused by this situation, the original high blood pressure may not only return to normal, there may be dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms of low blood pressure, if this situation and drink a little wine associated with that is the blood pressure down is caused by drinking alcohol, it is a big mistake.

For hypertensive patients, we have been advocating the restriction of alcohol consumption in life, large amounts of alcohol intake, not only for the regulation of blood pressure is unfavorable, alcohol will also cause stimulation of the cardiovascular and cerebral vascular, increase the inflammatory reaction of the endothelium, promote the development of atherosclerotic process, and research has found that large amounts of alcohol intake is one of the important risk factors for causing chronic heart failure. Therefore, long-term large amount of alcohol consumption, for hypertensive patients is not beneficial.

Is it enough to limit alcohol consumption and drink less? Of course, limiting the consumption of alcohol, even if the consumption of alcohol due to control the amount (recommended 40 degrees of white wine no more than 25 ml per day), will greatly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease that may be brought about by alcohol, but WHO has also long confirmed that alcohol is a carcinogen of the first degree, long-term consumption of alcohol not only on the cardiovascular system, for the liver, the brain, the stomach and other organs of the health, but also will cause adverse effects. Therefore, for hypertensive patients, the problem of drinking, or try to control the best, can drink less, can not drink, do not drink.

If you are happy in life, don't let the golden bottle empty to the moon! Some of my friends like to drink alcohol and have high blood pressure, what should I do? First of all, on the one hand, we should pay attention to limiting the amount of alcohol, try not to drink too much, not to mention the long-term excessive drinking, drinking and high blood pressure, the damage to the body are slowly formed, in your unconscious, long-term large amount of drinking habits will slowly erode your health; on the other hand, for those who can not control themselves, can not stop drinking, we must also control their own blood pressure. If you don't control your blood pressure and don't control your drinking, it may cause big health risks, for example, it is not uncommon to see cases of hemorrhagic stroke triggered by a large amount of drinking and violent vomiting, which leads to a sharp rise in blood pressure.

Therefore, for hypertensive patients, although it cannot be said that they must quit drinking, if they can, they should not drink if they can, and they should drink less if they can. Their health is their own, and their healthy lifestyles are also their own, and the degree of self-discipline they exercise also depends on themselves. Health is also personalized, there is no need to compare with others, people may be a cup of white wine every day, a long and healthy life to more than 90 years old, while some people with high blood pressure, may be because of a big drink, caused a big problem, therefore, this kind of problem can not be compared. Only a full understanding of their own health status, truly responsible for their own health, in order to achieve self-discipline, healthy life.

Strictly speaking, hypertensive patients should limit the intake of alcohol, but things are not absolute, just like diabetic patients is impossible to ban sugar. High blood pressure is the same, if the blood pressure can be controlled smoothly, you can drink a little bit, can drink, but also depends on the patient's own control of blood pressure.

Scientific studies have shown that alcohol can cause a temporary increase in blood pressure. For healthy people, drinking too much alcohol (150 ml of liquor or more than 100 ml of beer) can cause a one-time increase in blood pressure, but this is temporary and will soon return to normal. But if long-term alcoholism, the recovery process will become slower and slower, and healthy people will slowly get high blood pressure. For those who are hypertensive, alcohol leads to calcium and cholesterol deposition on the blood vessel wall, accelerating atherosclerosis and inducing a series of complications.

A little bit of alcohol can be appropriate for high blood pressure:

For example, red wine, wine, because this kind of wine contains anthocyanins, flower violet and other phytochemicals, can play a certain expansion of microvascular, cardiovascular protection effect. Scientific studies have proved that drinking the right amount of wine every day may help lower blood pressure and reduce the incidence of heart disease and cardiovascular disease. However, there are restrictions on wine, daily limit of 100ml or less, drink too much alcohol intake is also more difficult to achieve the effect of health care.

Hypertensive patients drink some wine is of course possible, because strictly speaking, hypertension does not exist completely can not eat or drink things, but in order to stabilize the control of blood pressure up to the standard, to maintain a good dietary habits essential, so to reduce the occurrence of complications, we recommend that patients with high blood pressure is best not to drink, has been drinking alcohol is best to abstain from alcohol.

A small amount of alcohol will dilate blood vessels for a short period of time, causing a drop in blood pressure, but with the increase in the time and amount of alcohol consumed, it will lead to a faster heart rate, vasoconstriction, and then cause blood pressure to rise. At the same time, drinking alcohol will also interfere with the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs, is not conducive to long-term stable control of blood pressure.

Although it used to be recognized that proper alcohol consumption has certain benefits for the human body, newer studies have overturned this stage, concluding that no matter how much alcohol is consumed, it is detrimental to human health, and that alcohol consumption does not have a protective effect on our cardiovascular system. We hope that we can realize this correctly, and for the sake of our health, we should refrain from drinking alcohol, and those who have already consumed alcohol should preferably abstain from it.

For some patients who find it difficult to quit drinking, our advice is that the amount of alcohol must be strictly controlled, because as the amount of alcohol consumed increases, the more damage it does to our body. If you want to drink alcohol, it must be consumed under satisfactory blood pressure control, and the daily amount of alcohol for men should not be more than 25g, equivalent to 1 tael of liquor, 3 tael of wine, and 6 tael of beer, and women should reduce it by half, and it is recommended to drink low-grade alcohol. Hypertensive patients also need to pay attention to a low-salt diet, strict smoking cessation, weight control, appropriate exercise, regular work and rest, maintain a state of mind, regular medication and monitoring of blood pressure changes, and regular review.

Alcohol can be consumed with high blood pressure, but it is not recommended!

Health considerations make alcohol consumption unsuitable for high blood pressure!

Alcohol's effect on blood pressure, not like other things, as long as the drinking blood pressure will rise, but was polarized phenomenon, hypertensive patients in a small amount of alcohol or drinking blood pressure in the early stages of the blood pressure will be significantly reduced, this is because after drinking, the whole body's blood vessels will be dilated under the influence of alcohol, and the blood pressure is the pressure of the flow of blood on the walls of the blood vessels, when the blood vessels are dilated, the pressure will be naturally smaller, and the blood pressure will also fall.

But the role of alcohol is not only dilate blood vessels, but also stimulate the sympathetic nerves, so that its excitement disorder, we will find in the drinking, with the increase in alcohol intake, the drinker will unconsciously become excited and talk a lot, and this time the hypertensive patients will begin to rise in blood pressure, this time, because with the disorder of the nerves, the blood vessels not only will not continue to dilate, on the contrary, spasm contraction phenomena will occur.

Drinking small amounts of alcohol lowers blood pressure, so is it okay to drink less and not quit?

It is theoretically possible, and there are many who recommend it so, but we must pay attention to one key detail!

This drinking hypertension patients, usually life regulation or oral antihypertensive drugs, to know a small amount of alcohol to reduce blood pressure is short-lived, the later will still rebound, the whole condition of the treatment does not help, if this patient daily oral antihypertensive medication to control blood pressure, a small amount of alcohol, it will be obvious to find that the blood pressure has become difficult to control, this is because the alcohol will offset a part of antihypertensive medication antihypertensive effect, in and of itself Patients who need medication to control their blood pressure are now pursuing a brief drop in blood pressure, which leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of the medication and fluctuations in blood pressure, which is more than worth the cost.

Existence is reason. Drinking itself is nothing, it's the person who drinks it that counts!

Drinking is different from smoking, in that it is not possible to drink when you have nothing to drink, and drinking doesn't affect others as long as you don't get crazy.

Drinking is indeed harmful to the body, but people are complex, many things can not be too rational, I'm not young, and a doctor, but still like to drink, this hobby lasted for many years, habits, stress... Can't quite tell the difference anymore, but that doesn't mean I can't advise others to stop drinking, realize that people are different, and if you want to drink to the detriment of your health, you have to have the capital to damage it as well.

Let me give you an example: you lose a few dozen or millions in poker may lose everything, Ma Yun even if he loses tens of millions, hundreds of millions do not feel anything.

Don't always blindly learn from others, others are strong and healthy drinking nothing, you high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood fat still want to drink? Don't give away your health, then don't say what drinking hobby, may not even have the opportunity to eat normal meals.

My advice:Drinking alcohol is fine, but you need to assess your health condition. If you are a patient with mild hypertension that does not require antihypertensive medication, then you can drink small amounts; if you are a patient with moderate-to-severe hypertension that requires antihypertensive medication to control it, then you should refrain from drinking alcohol.

Hypertension is a common cardiovascular disease among middle-aged and elderly people. After the diagnosis of hypertension, a reasonable antihypertensive program should be formulated by a specialist physician to control the blood pressure in the target range, and at the same time, pay attention to change the bad habits of life to reduce the fluctuation of blood pressure, which is more conducive to the control of blood pressure. So, can we drink alcohol if we have high blood pressure? Next, Medical Senlution will analyze for you.

According to the categorization of the etiology of hypertension, most hypertensive patients belong to primary hypertension. Primary hypertension has no clear cause and the pathogenesis is not clear, therefore, most patients with primary hypertension need medication to control their blood pressure. Although medication is the key to blood pressure control, poor lifestyle habits are still important triggers of primary hypertension, such as high sodium and low potassium diet, lack of exercise, overweight or obesity, smoking and alcoholism, and long-term mental stress. For non-hypertensive people, these bad habits are the susceptibility factors of hypertension; for hypertensive patients, these bad habits will increase the difficulty of blood pressure control, and even weaken the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs. Therefore, both non-hypertensive patients and hypertensive patients should change their bad habits, such as alcoholism, etc. Some mild hypertensive patients have a chance to normalize their blood pressure by changing their bad lifestyle and can avoid the use of antihypertensive drugs.

Of course, people with high blood pressure are not forbidden to drink alcohol. If the blood pressure control is stable, hypertensive patients can drink a small amount of alcohol, but avoid drinking a lot of alcohol. Long-term large amounts of alcohol easy to make peripheral vasoconstriction, elevated blood pressure, is not conducive to the control of blood pressure; on the contrary, a small amount of alcohol, can reduce blood pressure fluctuations, with the change of other bad habits, is conducive to reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. Different patients, the tolerance of alcohol is not the same, long-term drinkers can be half a catty not drunk, occasional drinkers half a couple of can step, therefore, the control of alcohol consumption varies from person to person, but there are medical standards for reference: the recommended daily ethanol intake of less than 25g for men, less than 15g for women, ethanol intake = alcohol consumption × alcohol concentration × 0.8, converted into a specific amount of alcohol consumption, roughly It is equivalent to 50ml of liquor, 150ml of wine and 350ml of beer. Since high spirits have a greater impact on blood pressure, it is recommended that hypertensive patients drink less high spirits.

In summary, for patients with stable blood pressure control, they can drink small amounts of alcohol, and it is recommended that the daily ethanol intake is less than 25g for men and less than 15g for women, and that they try to consume low-grade alcohol and less highly potent alcohol.

Drinking has become commonplace; you drink when you are happy and you drink when you are depressed. Some people do not care about their health when they drink. Some people with high blood pressure think that drinking alcohol can lower their blood pressure, and they drink a few glasses of alcohol at lunch or dinner every day, saying that it can lower their blood pressure. Can you drink alcohol if you have high blood pressure?

Today, high blood pressure has become a common chronic condition that often stays with the patient for life. The greatest danger to the body from high blood pressure is stroke, which can easily cause death. People with high blood pressure often need to take medication to stabilize their blood pressure within the normal range. Some people with high blood pressure find that their blood pressure does drop when they drink some alcohol, a finding that gives people with high blood pressure a reason to drink alcohol as well. However, this does not mean that it is safe to drink alcohol with high blood pressure.

After drinking alcohol, hypertensive patients experience a drop in blood pressure within a short period of time. In fact, the alcohol contained in alcohol will directly act on the smooth muscle of blood vessels after entering the body, and the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase will break down ethanol into acetaldehyde, which itself has the effect of dilating capillaries, and thus you will find that your blood pressure will drop. The drop in blood pressure occurs within a short period of time after the alcohol enters the blood vessels, but what comes with it is a reality that hypertensive patients do not want to face.

When hypertensive patients continue to drink alcohol, the blood vessels will start to contract again, and the resistance of blood vessels will gradually increase, the blood pressure will rise sharply, and it is easier to induce high blood pressure. For hypertensive patients, regular alcohol consumption is more stimulating to blood vessels, and the fluctuating blood pressure is more unfavorable to blood pressure control, and is more likely to induce strokes, which is not a result that you would like to see.

Although alcohol can relieve fatigue and deepen the relationship between each other. But in terms of physical health, drinking alcohol can do more harm than good to the body. Even a small amount of alcohol can be harmful to liver cells.
