Can you drink alcohol after stenting?

Patients who have had a stent are not allowed to drink alcohol. After having a stent, the normal working years of blood vessels can be made longer through regular medication, and the heart and blood vessels can be restored through herbal treatment. Alcohol contains ingredients that may raise blood pressure, increase heart rate, and sympathetic excitability, which can increase the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Drinking alcohol may also cause chest pain, dizziness and other symptoms, and new blood clots may form at the stent, causing the blood vessel to narrow again. Therefore, after stent surgery, patients must strictly abstain from alcohol, comply with medical advice, pay attention to life management, and exercise appropriately under the guidance of the doctor. If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
