Tea contains caffeine, which can cause a temporary increase in blood pressure in some individuals. However, for most people, moderate tea consumption does not lead to a significant or sustained rise in blood pressure.
Key points to consider:
- Caffeine content: Tea has less caffeine than coffee, so its effect on blood pressure is usually milder.
- Individual sensitivity: Some people are more sensitive to caffeine and may notice a temporary increase in blood pressure after drinking tea.
- Moderation is important: Drinking tea in moderate amounts (e.g., 1-3 cups per day) is generally safe and unlikely to cause high blood pressure.
- Other factors: Overall lifestyle, diet, and existing health conditions play a bigger role in blood pressure control than occasional tea consumption.
If you have high blood pressure or are concerned about it, it’s a good idea to monitor how your body responds to tea and discuss with your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice based on your health status and medications.
In summary, tea may cause a slight, temporary rise in blood pressure due to caffeine, but moderate consumption is usually safe for a 50-year-old woman without significant blood pressure issues.

View allI'm really worried about my grandfather who's 76. He was hospitalized twice because his blood pressure went up to 200100. We have the ECG from when he was in the hospital and his prescription too. Since getting discharged, his blood pressure is fine during the day, but at night it gradually rises to somewhere between 16080 and 18090. Does the ECG indicate he's had a heart attack? Are the medications he's on appropriate?
If the ECG shows sinus rhythm with no signs of acute myocardial infarction. The medications prescribed are Amlodipine 5mg once daily and Atenolol 25mg once daily. These are appropriate medications for controlling high blood pressure. However, since your grandfather's blood pressure is still increasing during the night, a medication adjustment may be needed. I recommend consulting with the doctor who prescribed these medications to discuss the possibility of increasing the dosage or adding another medication to better control his blood pressure during the night.

I'm a bit concerned about my BP readings. It was 10866 recently, but before that, it was 9363. Should I be worried about this change, or is it normal? Do you think I need to see a doctor? Please let me know what you think!
-A blood pressure reading of 10866 is considered within the normal range, though it's slightly higher than your previous reading of 9363. It seems like a healthy change, but if you're feeling any symptoms like dizziness or weakness, its worth consult

I've been dealing with headaches last week that lasted for two days, and my BP was at 240160. I got an MRIMRA done, and luckily everything was normal. Started taking Cilacar 10mg once a day, and from the next day, my BP seemed under control. But today, it suddenly spiked to 180120 this evening. I can only get in to see a doctor tomorrow. Should I consider taking half of the Cilacar 10mg now to help lower it?
As an emergency medicine you can take half tablet and visit Your doctor as soon as possible
