Is it true that you can't drink milk and eat grapefruit while taking blood pressure medication?
Many types of foods in life may affect high blood pressure, or the effect of blood pressure drugs can not be played normally, including milk, because milk is rich in tyramine, antihypertensive drugs will cause the decomposition of tyramine by enzymes in the body to be inhibited, tyramine continues to accumulate in the body, the impact is arrhythmia, blood pressure soars, and the molecular particles of milk will be wrapped on the surface of the drug molecules, so that the effect of the drug can not be played in time.
Grapefruit is a common fruit that is not recommended to be eaten with antihypertensive drugs, because grapefruit is rich in potassium, which is easy to react with drugs and promote blood absorption of drugs, which is equivalent to a large drop in blood pressure in a short period of time under the dual action of drugs and nutrients in grapefruit, and it is easy to have hypotensive reactions, and there will be discomfort when blood pressure is too low, so you should stay away from grapefruit during taking antihypertensive drugs.
What foods should I stay away from when taking blood pressure medication?

Because most people will blush, have a fast heartbeat, and become short of breath when alcohol obtains alcohol, which is a sign that alcohol affects blood pressure fluctuations, and high blood pressure for a long time will accelerate vascular lesions and induce some difficult complications.
3. Pickled products
