Blood pressure drop after drinking, 81/55mmHg, can be divided into physiological and pathological, physiological changes are normal, pathological common acute myocardial infarction, hemorrhagic shock, etc., is not normal.
1. Physiological: after some people drink alcohol, ethanol metabolism in the body will be converted into acetaldehyde, acetaldehyde has the function of dilating capillaries, triggering a decrease in blood pressure, which is a normal physiological change, generally after metabolism, the blood pressure may rise.
2. Acute myocardial infarction: blood viscosity increases after drinking alcohol, which increases the load on the heart, can cause coronary artery spasm, increase myocardial oxygen consumption, thus triggering myocardial infarction, the patient may be due to insufficient cardiac ejection as a result of lowered blood pressure, which may be accompanied by chest pain, panic, sweating and other symptoms.
3. Hemorrhagic shock: patients who drink a lot of alcohol lead to gastrointestinal damage, cardia mucosal tear caused by gastrointestinal hemorrhage, blood volume can be insufficient to appear after the drop in blood pressure, the patient is also accompanied by dizziness, abdominal pain, vomiting blood and even fainting and other manifestations.
If the patient’s blood pressure drops after drinking, 81/55mmHg, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to find out the reason and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
