You can drink coffee, but be careful with tea: a cardiologist spoke about drinks for hypertension People with hypertension should not completely give up coffee. If blood pressure is controlled with medication, one to two glasses per day is usually fine. Cardiologist, candidate of medical sciences, Andrey Kondrakhin, talked about this in an interview with Novaya Izvestia. "One or two glasses a day do not cause harm, and a person can drink them safely, even if he has hypertension, which is controlled by medication," the doctor noted. However, during a hypertensive crisis or with uncontrolled high blood pressure, coffee should be avoided. What about other drinks? Strong tea, according to Kondrakhin, can also raise blood pressure. The doctor believes that green tea has a particularly pronounced effect. Sugary drinks affect the blood vessels indirectly: excess sugar may contribute to inflammatory processes and disruption of the blood vessel wall. Separately, the cardiologist warned against alcohol. Its use may increase blood pressure, and regular abuse increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. The main thing, according to the expert, is not so much a complete rejection of regular drinks, but stable blood pressure control and properly selected treatment. However, a safe dose of alcohol for health has not been established.
