Research indicates that coffee may lead to short-term increases in blood pressure. However, no long-term associations with increases in blood pressure or risk of heart disease have been found in people who drink it regularly. Rather, coffee may promote heart health due to its high antioxidant content.

Question

I'm really worried about my health because I've been told I have a blockage in 2 of my arteries. The doctor mentioned that my condition isn't good enough for a bypass or CABG surgery. They've suggested I try medication for the first 15 days to see if it helps clear the blockage. How effective is this approach, and what are the chances that the blockage might actually clear up just with medicine?
