High blood pressure medication should not be taken after drinking, because the medication can easily react with alcohol, which can be harmful to the human body, and after drinking, it can lead to vasodilation and lower blood pressure. Taking drugs after drinking, on top of lowering blood pressure, makes blood pressure fall even more, which can cause life-threatening risks, such as ischemia of the heart and brain vessels and other important organs, which may lead to myocardial ischemia and even cerebral ischemia, etc. Therefore, drugs for hypertension should not be taken after drinking. In addition, people with high blood pressure should usually quit smoking and drinking, take a low-salt, low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, eat more green vegetables and fruits, and try to avoid fatty meat, fried and barbecued foods in order to recover health more quickly.
