Yes. In long term drinkers it raises it chronically. Also it increases heart rate. It can also cause tremor and anxiety

Yes, it's one of the first things a Dr will tell you. Caffeine, smoking and lack of exercise. My Dr compromised with me and I switched to the half caffeine coffee. After a few days I didn't even notice the difference any more. Tried the decaf and all I wound up with was major headaches from withdrawal. Stress will also raise your blood pressure and coffee is relaxing for most people. Switch to the half caffeine, make yourself and your Dr happy!

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

It sure does, in fact this afternoon, my son in law went to the Dr for chest pains he has been experiencing, he is only 31, his bp was so high that the Dr put him on bp meds, {still not as much as i have to take}, but the first thing he did after the visit was to get caffeine free drinks as the Dr. told him. I myself have high bp, and am on 4 medications for it, but i have not given up caffeine, it hasn't made a difference in my case, i gave up everything at first too. Bp stays about the same no matter what as long as i take meds, but that's me, i could kak off tonight. Good luck.

Yes, it does, it acts as a vasoconstrictor, which means it "shrinks" your veins and arteries for a while which results in the blood being forced through more narrow spaces, which, of course, results in higher blood pressure readings. It's not usually a problem for healthy people, though.

Yes, I suffer from high blood pressure, but every morning I have to get a cup of coffee. And believe me, my heart starts racing. I should not do it, but that is my only vice.

definitely because people who drink coffee a lot that is not decaffeinated,oftentimes develop rapid pumping of the heart that can cause large volume of blood delivered to the different extremities of the body or AKA "nerbiyos"

Yes it sure does. But the worst thing is that it will raise your heart rate, so that your heart will start to beat very fast...thats not good.

A cold shower is likely to cause a sudden spike in your BP.
