Does Excessive Alcohol Intake Result In The Sudden Increase In Blood Pressure?

I m a 32 year old caucasian male. I just did a blood pressure test and it was 138/97. I drank pretty heavily the evening before. It s been about 18 hours since my last drink. I also ate taco bell half an hour before. Would these be the causes of such a high reading? Or could it be something more dangerous?

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to alcohol withdrawal symptoms, as you have consumed a large amount of alcohol in the last 24 hours. I recommend taking plenty of fluids and having some rest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wish you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
