Truth. If coffee did not raise blood pressure, then people who have a drop in blood pressure after eating and have to lie down on the sofa would not drink it. So they are saved just by coffee.
There are two confusing factors in this matter. First, people enjoy drinking what they love. And people begin to find an excuse for their drinking. Someone loves vodka or beer, and someone loves coffee. It doesn't matter if you like this coffee. It raises the pressure. It is a fact. No need to defend your favorite drink. He is what he is. With all the disadvantages.
Secondly, if people are natural coffee lovers, then, like any other addicted to various substances, their sensitivity to their beloved will decrease. That is, if you drink coffee regularly and a lot, then it becomes less heavy, and blood pressure hardly rises.
In fact, for an untrained person, coffee raises blood pressure by about 10 millimeters of mercury. But for this you need to drink coffee sporadically.
It is noteworthy that coffee raises blood pressure not only due to caffeine. There is something else in it... Tea does not raise the pressure like that. This is a mystery of nature.
On the other hand, people are very often mistaken when they try to get themselves out of their light-headed state with the help of coffee. It will only make it worse. When blood pressure falls during fainting, it falls reflexively from some experience. So coffee only enhances the experience. Therefore, coffee makes fainting worse.
