Research Notes on Caffeine and Circulation
Caffeine can affect the cardiovascular system and circulation. It can cause the blood pressure to be slightly elevated temporarily. Most people do not get hypertension with moderate caffeine consumption. However, a study revealed that long-term caffeine use elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure in some individuals. This elevation can be reversed by stopping caffeine consumption and switching to decaffeinated or caffeine-free products.
