Is It Helpful To Take Red Wine Along With Lisinopril For High BP?

I began taking lisinopril today for high blood pressure that was diagnosed today. I have been told that drinking a glass of red wine can be beneficial. Can one drink a glass of red wine while taking this medication? Also, I was told to eat more vegetables and fruits, but have read that I should stay away from beans and bananas and other foods that are rich in potassium.

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation, You -can take glass of wine with lisinopril,as polyphyenols/antioxidants in it are known to cause reduction in blood pressure.But along with it,you should restrict fatty,spicy,salty fried food,which could increase blood pressure.
Besides this has many anti-inflammatory, antibiotic like,and anticancer beneficial effects, for which it could be taken.
Consults with physician and nutritionist need to be taken to rule out any existing contra-indications before adding wine.
Wine does reduces risks to CAD(Coronary artery disease) and hence is advisable.

Hope this would help you to plan further of this complex illness of yours.
