On December 18, Zhumadian Central Hospital received a patient surnamed Zhang. He had been dizzy recently, and half of his body was numb and unable to move. After examination, he had symptoms of cerebral infarction. According to the patient surnamed Zhang, he usually had no other problems except high blood pressure. However, he listened to other "home remedies" and drank alcohol to reduce blood pressure, which made him regret it.
Many people think that drinking alcohol lowers blood pressure, and they use it as an excuse to do so. After some people drink alcohol, their blood pressure will indeed decrease, but the maintenance time is very short, and then their blood pressure will rebound and increase. Long-term drinking will lead to higher and higher blood pressure.
"After drinking alcohol for the first time, blood pressure will decrease slightly due to blood vessel dilation," said Huang Xintao, director of the Second Department of Cardiology at Zhumadian Central Hospital. "After this period of time, the blood vessels in the body will return to their original state. Because the stimulating effect of alcohol will cause a "rebound" in the neurofeedback mechanism, the body will release more endocrine hormones to counteract the neurofeedback mechanism. Excessive endocrine hormones will cause blood pressure to be higher than before, causing patients with hypertension to experience a sudden rise in blood pressure. , are more likely to cause serious diseases such as myocardial infarction."
Huang Xintao suggested that for some hypertensive patients with drinking habits, they do not need to force themselves to quit drinking. But be sure to reduce your intake. It is not recommended for some people who are obese, have high blood lipids and have ventricular hypertrophy to drink alcohol. If they feel unwell, they should seek medical treatment promptly and do not listen to some harmful "recipes". (Editor Li Zongwen)
