The question whether it is possible to drink coffee at high pressure, is haunted by many patients with hypertension. Despite the prevailing opinion that the drink (especially in large doses), has a tonic effect and increases blood pressure, not everyone is ready to abandon its use.
The effect of coffee on blood pressure
The body has the ability to control the processes of waking and sleep with the help of adenosine. Under the influence of caffeine decreases its production, at the same time it increases the amount of adrenaline. In humans, there is a burst of energy, but there is often a habit to use stimulants.
Once in the bloodstream caffeine causes narrowing of the vascular walls and temporary hypertension. Increased blood pressure is maintained for 1-3 hours. This suggests that hypertension and coffee - concepts incompatible.
As a result, a constant exposure of the beverage in the body of the blood supply to the heart muscle deteriorates (20%). As a result of its constant consumption of large amounts increases the risk of pathologies associated with the cardiovascular system.

With a single coffee consumption and hypertension in the hypertensive effect of caffeine affect the decomposition rate.
For hypertension in the absence of other factors affecting the increase in the blood pressure parameters, a one-time consumption does not cause problems with the cardiovascular system.
A person that does not have the habit to eat drink regularly, the high pressure can cause increased intracranial pressure.
regular consumption
There is evidence of coffee and high blood pressure may be combined provided that under the influence of individual characteristics of the body's blood pressure did not increase performance. When an energy tide and even slight suspicion pulsation appears in the temples, the pressure increases.
Even instant coffee the caffeine content reaches 14 mg, drink it undesirable for hypertension (in its composition contains unnecessary and even harmful substances).
What and how much you can drink
To understand, you can drink coffee with hypertension, it is necessary to understand that there is no definitive contraindications for use.
As a result of the experiments conducted in selected patients suffering from hypertension, it was noted that caffeine intake lowers blood pressure. This confirms that the individual characteristics of the organism influence the further exposure.
Drinking 2 cups a day helps:
- increase efficiency;
- get rid of sleepiness and fatigue;
- reduction in the risk of malignancies, diabetes, Parkinson's disease.
Admission coffee causes overstimulation of the CNS, causing increased irritability, sleep disturbances. These factors are negative for patients with hypertension and can lead to increased blood pressure indicators.
If you can not give up completely, high blood pressure can drink coffee, observing a number of conditions:
- fly replacer - green (in which the caffeine content is less);
- You can drink coffee with milk, to reduce the negative influence of caffeine;
- enjoy the fragrant drink just after a meal;
- can not eat it hot (high temperature increases the likelihood of vascular spasm);
- the interval between doses is at least 6 hours.
Hypertensive necessary to monitor the pressure before and after ingestion of drink.
When the figures are slightly different, you can drink up to 2 cups daily, or replace the usual on beskofeinovy.
