Does caffeine constrict blood vessels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes…a little: That is why it is helpful in the treatment of headache, but it can also raise your blood pressure a little bit , usually not enough to be dangerous, even if you have high blood pressure. But if you are in doubt, ask your doctor
