If you increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet, you will also lower your blood pressure. Coffee contains caffeine which is a stimulant and can cause your blood vessels to contract and increase your blood pressure. However, this amount is small, and may or may not be significant.
Caffeine can be found in sodas, coffee, tea, chocolate, and energy drinks. In particular, energy drinks tend to contain large amounts of caffeine. Some medications also have caffeine in them such as headache medications. If you have high blood pressure, itâs always a good idea to limit caffeine to 200mg a day. That means you can drink about two cups of coffee, more than that can cause your blood pressure levels to go up even more. Check the labels on your drinks and medications to determine how much caffeine they contain and then work to stay to the 200 mg limit.
