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.
To see if caffeine is raising your blood pressure, you should check your blood pressure within 30 to 60 minutes of drinking a caffeinated beverage.If your blood pressure increases by five to 10 points, you may be sensitive to the effect caffeine has on your blood pressure. Alice.
