Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brunneria" data-source="post: 1270867" data-attributes="member: 41816">I think it is a question of testing and seeing.I used to think that coffee affected by blood pressure only a little - because I tested it at 2 hours (just like I would test my blood glucose)Then I accidently discovered that the bp rise came 5-10 hours later, not 2 hours.  That was a revelation.  More careful testing revealed that the bp rise actually lasted 3 days, with the peak around 7 hours after drinking that one cup.  I would NEVER have spotted this, if I hadn't been willing to check it out myself.  The doc would NEVER have spotted it either - just kept prescribing the pills.So basically, never assume.  Test until you feel you have covered all your bases, and then test again.  That way, you will know the full situation.</blockquote>
