Is coffee good for high blood pressure?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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.

  1. Caffeine and Blood Pressure:

    • Caffeine can temporarily raise blood pressure, especially in those with hypertension.
  2. Moderation:

    • Limit coffee to 1-2 cups daily and monitor your body's response.
  3. Individual Sensitivity:

    • If coffee raises your blood pressure, consider reducing or avoiding it.
  4. Consultation:

    • Discuss coffee intake with your doctor, particularly if on blood pressure medication.
  5. Lifestyle Management:

    • Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress to control blood pressure.

In summary, coffee isn't strictly off-limits, but moderation and monitoring are key.

I'm experiencing some discomfort in the middle of my chest and around my rib cage after exercising. It's a mild pain, especially when I bend or do push-ups. It's not too bad, but it hasn't improved or gone away either. I'm getting a bit concerned. What could be causing this, and is it something I should worry about?

take tablet zerodol and tablet pantoprazole

My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?

yes angiolasty is recommended to your father as there triple vessel disease and three arteries are blocked .

I'm looking over my wife's yearly ECG report and I'm a bit worried about the results. It mentions "borderline" and lists some parameters like a rate of 89, sinus rhythm, and normal P AxisV rate. It also says something about short PR intervals and gives a bunch of numbers, like PR 105 and QRS 80. Im not sure what these mean. Do you think this calls for more tests or should I be concerned about anything specific?
