Hello,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.
Verily, drinking alcohol is not causing any good to your body. Most of the time, severe side effects can occur, especially those related to cardiovascular system as in your case.
Now, before running into final conclusions, I’d like to know :
– your gender? age?
– are you suffering of any chronic illness? diabetes? cardiovascular?
– are you taking any medication on regular basis so far?
– what is the amount of alcohol you usually drink? do you keep drinking every day?
I should have a few more data regarding your health status, in order to give a more specific advice.
To add some information, alcohol can affect cardiovascular system in a negative way.
Let me explain how.
I understand you might follow the rule of drinking alcohol in moderation can cut your risk for cardiovascular disease. However, this does not mean, you should drink it everything and in moderation.
If you keep drinking alcohol everyday, and 2 or three or more cups, this might alter the way your heart is beating, causing rapid heart beats or even arrhythmia (most commonly atrial fibrillation).
So, you have the solution. Stop drinking alcohol, try to follow a healthy lifestyle and diet regimen to protect your heart.
Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have any other questions, I’d be glad to answer them.
