Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. Hypertension is one of major issue and most time about 90-95% cause is unknown, if u were my patient I would like to ask u monitor BP while you're on med BCS I wanna know is that 1 reading or u having still high BP even after med n, so I can optimize dose to control BP in normal range . Ideally 5-7 days need to BP charting n then bring it to me so I'll decide whether you need to adjust dose or not... regarding alcohol Royal College of Physician said male can use 21 units of alcohol /week n 1 unit is in small pub measure 25ml of spirit(40% alcohol by vol) or standard pub measure 50ml of fortified wine(20%alcohol)... other factor also need to be modified like Dec salt intake, exercise n weight lose if over weight according to BMI protocol . All such factors along witChatDoctorpliance with med can control BP... I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Regards.
