The Mayo Clinic noted on its website that caffeine can cause an increase in blood pressure. “ Sudden, short-term increases in blood pressure occur primarily in people who do not consume caffeine frequently, and not in those who do. However, the blood pressure response to caffeine varies from person to person,” they explained.
In this scenario, the precise reasons behind these individual reactions are still unconfirmed. However, some researchers suggest that the stimulant could inhibit the hormone responsible for keeping arteries dilated. " Others think it causes the adrenal glands to release more adrenaline, which causes the increase in blood pressure . Stress could also play a role," they added.
