Can you drink alcohol if you have a mild cerebral infarction?

Alcohol is not recommended for patients suffering from mild cerebral infarction, as it can aggravate diseases such as cerebral atherosclerosis and hypertension, and aggravate the symptoms of cerebral infarction. Cerebral infarction refers to localized ischemia and necrosis of brain tissues caused by impaired blood supply to the brain. Alcohol stimulates the liver to synthesize triglycerides, which causes arteriosclerosis, thus aggravating the condition of cerebral infarction. In addition, alcohol will also stimulate the sympathetic nerves, causing the body to be in a state of excitement, which in turn causes an increase in cardiac output and a rise in blood pressure, and high blood pressure is also an important risk factor for cerebral infarction. Patients with cerebral infarction should pay attention to their diet, eat more fresh fruits such as apples and fish, and quit smoking and drinking. If any obvious discomfort occurs, they should go to the hospital immediately.
