Brief Answer:
Wine and blood pressure
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I see that you have recently started taking bystolic which I assume for either blood pressure or irregular heart beat. You are concerned that drinking 2 glasses of wine with dinner will affect your medication. The answer is no. Drinking moderately which is up to 2 glasses a wine a day will not affect blood pressure or heart disease. In fact moderate alcohol maybe beneficial. But you should not drink any more than the 2 glasses of wine in one day. Any extra will increase your risk for liver disease and heart disease.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
