Alcohol is not recommended for low blood pressure and may further lower blood pressure, thereby inducing ischemia in vital organs.
The main component of wine is alcohol, which enters the body and breaks down into acetaldehyde in the liver. Acetaldehyde and its metabolites can cause vasodilatation and a relative lack of blood volume, which can further lower blood pressure. In severe cases, it can also lead to insufficient perfusion of the heart, brain, kidneys and other vital organs, resulting in ischemic symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, nausea, chest tightness, and decreased urine output.
After acetaldehyde is metabolized, blood vessels will again contract excessively, raising blood pressure and causing it to fluctuate, with adverse effects on the human body. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as hypertension, hypotension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc., are not recommended to consume any variety of alcohol, all of which increase the risk of the onset of the above diseases.
Excessive alcohol consumption may also increase gastrointestinal burden, cause bleeding, affect nerve metabolism, and cause damage to cerebral nerves.
