Many people wonder if the IRR and alcohol compatible. The latest in high doses, is capable of striking even in a healthy organism, and in those suffering from VSD can cause worsening of the disease. At the same time, some believe that a moderate intake of alcoholic beverages is useful and even facilitates the course of the disease.
Effect of alcohol on disease
Dystonia occurs with the constant nervous tension and stress. In this situation, the patient would like to abandon the daily problems. Alcohol acts as a means of achieving this goal.
The effect of alcohol primarily affects the nervous and cardiovascular system of the person. On the use of alcohol the body reacts to the expansion of blood vessels, relaxation of muscles and nerve endings. One feels pleasant ease back down all the problems and stress that provoke the IRR.
However, the positive effect only lasts a few minutes, then comes opposite condition: the vessels are narrowed, increasing the load on the heart, there is a tachycardia. Blood pressure rises significantly. There may be a reddening of the skin, shortness of breath. The consequence of the reception of alcohol also can become increased anxiety, nervousness, and even aggression.
All these symptoms are magnified with increasing doses of strong drink, and if in a state of intoxication have to endure physical and nervous load.
The nervous system and blood vessels of patients with VSD are more vulnerable to the negative effects of alcohol. A person diagnosed with VSD after alcohol, the use of large amounts may develop hypertensive crisis or PIS.
What and how much you can drink
Alcohol is capable both provoke and worsen the vascular dystonia. Even one glass of alcohol can cause an attack of the disease. Therefore, when the IRR is better not to drink alcohol at all. However, not everyone is able to once and for all abandon the spirits. In patients with VSD often the question arises, what drinks and how much can be consumed to the negative effect was minimal.
Doctors believe a safe dose for patients with dystonia less than 1 glasses of strong drink (vodka, brandy), a glass of wine or a glass of beer a day. However, not everyone manages to resist the temptation to exceed the recommended dosage.
Many prefer alcoholic beverages (beer, wine), considering them to be safe, but even a light alcohol at VSD, especially in hypertensive type is not recommended. In order to achieve the desired degree of relaxation using soft drinks, have to increase their dose. Instead of a glass of vodka a man drinks a bottle of beer. As a result, the body gets the same amount of pure alcohol. At the same time lovers of daily consumption of beer dystonia is diagnosed more often than leading a sober lifestyle.
At the same time, VSD on hypotonic type (Under reduced pressure), patients often report a positive effect from the reception of small doses of red wine. In hypotensive raises blood pressure to normal levels, they feel a surge of strength, improvement in mood. However, it is important not to exceed the recommended medical dose (less than 1 glass of wine per day), or you may experience headache, palpitations, sleep disorders.

Symptoms of a hangover at VSD are more pronounced than in healthy people. Hangover at VSD manifests severe headache, nausea, dizziness, ringing in the ears, sweating. There may be anxiety and even panic attacks.
Symptomatology of the disease is complicated still because of dehydration. Diuretic effect of alcohol leads to a decrease in blood volume in the body. Blood thickens, because of what the load on the heart increases many times. There are pain in the heart. aggravation of the IRR and a hangover combined can lead to serious consequences in the form of heart attack and stroke.
Hangover at VSD - torture for a person, and sometimes it takes up to several days. Patients often try to relieve symptoms with new doses of ethanol-containing liquids, but it only aggravates the situation.
Drink alcoholic beverages or not, everyone decides on their own, but still better to listen to the advice of doctors and should not exceed the safe dose.
