Does anyone know the effects of mixing blood pressure medicine and liquor?
My bf takes medicine for high blood pressure, he has an enlarged heart, diabetes and sleep apnea. In his fridge he has two six packs of zimas. He says that they don't have enough alcohol in them to hurt anything. Am I stressing for nothing or is he a complete moron?

alcohol is alcohol…….. and alcohol can thinur blood and with bp meds that can be serious if not deadly . once and a while im sure its ok but i would ask the pharmacist about it as they would know more and have more specific answers …… if your bf doesnt care about his health its nice that u do , altho he will ultimately make the decision.
good luck

At low doses alcohol works as a vasodilatation medicinal (improving blood pressure) but with greater dosage the blood pressure decreases and so it could amplify the anti- hypertension drugs!

Alcohol raises blood pressure if used regularly. It can cause an enlarged heart, contribute to diabetes, and obesity (which can cause sleep apnea).
