I am a heart patient and must be very careful about dehydration since I understand that it would affect my electrolytes, particularly the potassium level, which is essential for the heart. I have not had a drink in 25 years and am confident that if I were to resume drinking this would pose a severe health threat. Excessive alcohol may result in dehydration. It's always crucial to be completely candid and truthful to your doctor to avoid things like heart attacks, strokes and seizures. If I had not stopped drinking I would not be writing this post.
