Hypertension Symptoms and Signs. High Blood Pressure

Drinking too much coffee. Again, drinking too much coffee is hardly a symptom of hypertension. However, it has been marked as a possible cause of the same. It is documented that caffeine definitely causes hypertension on the short-term, and has a temporary effect. It certainly induces the adrenaline glands to step-up the body’s production of adrenaline, which is how it causes a temporary increase in blood pressure. However, this is still rather vague, and the link between caffeine and blood pressure has not been explored in depth. Some studies do show, however, that caffeine may have a tendency to block hormones that prevent hypertension, by preventing constriction of the arteries.
