But my EKG shows no damage from High Blood pressure. Been having this condition for over 40 years. I think that you are right that coffee raises blood pressure but does not harm the arteries.

Hi Keshab, yes you can, with no added sugar and minimal milk. If you suspect you metabolise coffee poorly, then just drink de-caf, or tea.

not anymore. BP guidelines were just revised and it’s 130 not 140.

Hi David,
Caffeine will cause an immediate, short-term increase in blood pressure. If you have caffeine regularly through the week then it will be elevated many times through the week.

Readings of 140/94 or similar, for a week, gave me cause for concern. I changed to decaffeinated coffee (I’m a 5 cups/day man) and saw the readings immediately drop to 115/80. Not sure about the science behind this, but it does suggest coffee can play havoc with blood pressure.
