Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Cause Of High Bp After Consuming Cocktail Alcohol?
my blood pressure raised very high after one night binge cocktail alcohol. Does the pressure effect is permanent? Or it has normalized now and I can take normal diet. My blood pressure normalized automatically after 03 days and now I am feeling better.
When we consumes alcohol, it affects out body in different manners according to dose and time. During beginning, Our sympathetic system becomes active after consuming alcohol that can cause Tachycardia, flushing of face, palpitation, high blood pressure, euphoria and sexual excitement.
After heavy doses and consuming above the optimum dose, parasympathetic system becomes active and that causes dizziness, giddiness, imbalance, alteredness, and unconsciousness.
So according to your description, that was perfectly normal physiological phenomena. So do not bother regarding that. But my personal advise is Please consume alcohol within a limit and do not consume alcohol daily.
Thank You.
