Question : I am 37 years old male and I regularly take Met XL50 one tablet in the morning. Usually my BP is in control with this medicine however the day I take alcohol (beer / whiksey), my BP shoots up the next day and goes upto 140/110 which makes me restless the next day. Kindly advise
Brief Answer:
You need to give up alcohol.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I think that you well know that the answer to your query lies within your query itself. All you need to do is to quit taking alcohol. Alcohol and its metabolites are harmful for your health and the source of your problems, especially since you have problems like high blood pressure. Hence, the only resolution is to stop taking alcohol. It might not be easy but you can do it. If required, you can get in touch with some deaddiction program or some self help group and that may indeed prove useful.
Let me know if I could be of further assistance.
