Amit Ali, 48, is a restaurant...
Amit Ali, 48, is a restaurant owner whose social and business life revolves around food and drink. He noticed worsening shortness of breath when climbing stairs and a constant, dull pounding in his temples. His wife urged him to see a doctor after he experienced a brief episode of dizziness. The Internal Medicine specialist found his blood pressure at 170/105 mmHg and, noting his history of 4-5 drinks nightly, diagnosed Alcohol-Induced Hypertension. The doctor recommended a complete cessation of alcohol for 3 months, initiation of a calcium channel blocker, and a cardiac work-up. Amit struggled deeply with the social and cultural shift, feeling isolated. The first month was difficult with cravings and anxiety. After 3 months, his BP was 130/84 mmHg, his energy returned, and the dizziness ceased. His emotional journey was from fear (of business impact and health) to profound relief and pride, strengthening his family bonds as they supported his new lifestyle.
