I’m calling BS on this one. I drink Zero sugared drinks. No soda, no alcohol, only unsweetened Iced tea and coffee. Still have to take 3 antihypertensive medications daily.
I went for a doctor visit one morning. I was drinking a diet Pepsi while waiting for the doctor. My BP is usually 120/70. When my BP was checked it was 140/90. The doctor said caffeine raises blood blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, stay away from caffeine and also many of those nose sprays that dry up a running nose. They keep your blood pressure up.
