No: I'm not entirely sure what a caffeine 'overdose' means here. Lots of coffee shouldn't do it. Real overdose with energy drinks or something like that are possibly another story. How about, just don't overdose on anything. It's bad.

Caffeine malign HTN: No caffeine will not cause malignant HTN. It will increase BP especially if you don't usually consume caffeine. If you are on dextroaphhetiamie it can cause severe HTN.
