Is it possible to drink cognac with high blood pressure? Remember once and for all – Health

Often, acquaintances or neighbors advise a person to reduce high blood pressure with cognac. And as a rule, the method works, Sports.kz reports with reference to Hibiny.ru.

It was commented on by psychiatrist-narcologist Alexander Polikarpov in a conversation with Gazeta.Ru.

The doctor confirmed that a strong alcoholic drink will temporarily lower blood pressure. But soon it will return to previous levels.

And if you do this repeatedly, then such a swing for vessels will not pass without a trace.

“Cognac causes dangerous surges in blood pressure. It negatively affects the cardiovascular system and can increase appetite, which, in turn, will lead to overeating,” the doctor explained.

With hypertension, cognac is even more dangerous – it will damage blood vessels, and this is the path to strokes and heart attacks, Polikarpov warned.
