The effects of alcohol on the pressure
There are many myths associated with high blood pressure and alcohol compatibility. Doctors agree that some spirits has an initial lowering effect associated with the ability to change the ethanol lumen of blood vessels. However, this statement refers only to the permissible dose, which, according to popular opinion in the medical environment, is not able to harm the relatively healthy body.
The consequences of alcohol use in large amounts, provoking an increase in pressure:
- increased heart rate due to deterioration of supply of nutrients;

Frequent drinking of alcoholic beverages, even in the not lead to a state of extreme intoxication doses, provokes the same violations in the body and contributes to the development chronic hypertension in a healthy person, and the progression of the disease in those who have already been forced to go to the doctor because of the increase in blood pressure.

In addition to a gradual deterioration, the effects of alcohol intake can manifest as sudden hypertensive crisis.
Vodka reduces pressure for a short time after reception of the first glass, but it is not intended for use as a replacement drug or agent capable of increasing its efficiency.
Weak drinks, such as beer, do not reduce pressure. Champagne and sweet wine is also contraindicated in hypertensive patients. At the same time, dry wine reduces this figure. But this effect is subject to the 2 main features:
- short-term results;
- hypotonic effect arises only when receiving a low dose and high dose of any beverage containing ethanol, quickly raise pressure.
In addition, you need to know that the combination of drugs with alcohol can change the time to maximum concentration of the active substance in the blood. This in turn may also lead to high blood pressure jump.

Those people who are willing to take risks for the sake of fun to raise a glass on a holiday, you need to be limited to a minimum amount. Excess doses, experts consider insufficient to cause harm to health, will lead to a jump in pressure both during the drinking, and the next day.
