Patient's question:
Doctor, the lady at home is 43 years old and has high blood pressure. Today, I saw her buy a Starbucks coffee to drink at home, and she also wants to drink it. She asked me to bring her a cup tomorrow. I just want to ask if people with high blood pressure can drink coffee?Doctor's answer:
For hypertensive patients, the most is the rise in blood pressure, so coffee is not recommended to be consumed. This is because coffee contains a large amount of caffeine. After consuming caffeine, whether it is ordinary people or hypertensive patients, caffeine is likely to inhibit the excretion of substances that cause blood vessels to expand, or increase the excretion of adrenaline that causes blood vessels to constrict. Either of these effects can cause a temporary and intense rise in blood pressure. Most hypertensive patients suffer from long-term hypertension, and high blood pressure in the blood will cause control and damage to the walls of blood vessels, and with age, the brittleness will also increase. This temporary and intense rise in blood pressure may cause severe stimulation to the already fragile blood vessels, leading to serious cardiovascular complications such as cerebral hemorrhage.
