would it be recommended that a women who was told they needed a stent 4 months ago go out and drink heavily?

Question

women has high blood pressure and wore a monitor was told she had to get a stent 4 months ago and it has not been done and still goes out and drinks long island ice teas 6-8 of them in bar rooms

Answer 1

needing a stent is an indication of an artery being partly blocked, drinking heavily is dehydrating aand will thicken your blood making it more likely that a clot will form at the site of the narrowing

Answer 2

No prob not a good idea especially in smoking is involved. Depending on the severity of the blockage her heart is not getting enough blood to it's muscle and this can lead to a heart attack. Anything that raises blood pressure is going to expedite that. lay off the booze and smoking

Answer 3

Sounds to me that there are three scenarios here:
1) She doesn't have medical insurance to cover the procedure and is drowning her sorrows with booze.
or
2) She has med insurance but is in denial due to alcoholism.
or
3) She is a complete idiot that is an alcoholic.

Answer 4

It sounds like she's jeopardizing her health... and she's in deep denial.

If a person is drinking that much, in my opinion, he or she is just trying to self-medicate a much deeper emotional issue.

It takes courage to look at those emotions... but her life will be much richer for it.

When she's ready (you CANNOT make her), she may want to give a 12 step program a try.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Sounds to me like that wouldn't really be recommended for anyone. That's a lot of alcohol. But I would especially think that it would be worse for someone with health problems.

Answer 6

Take out an insurance policy on her and make yourself the nominee. Quick!

Answer 7

No. Not you . Make me the nominee.

Answer 8

And she did it her way
