Not necessarily: Some people are very sensitive to caffeine, and may notice an increase in BP with minimal amounts of caffeine intake. In most patients with hypertension, if your BP is controlled, caffeine in moderation is ok. Check with your doctor about your particular situation, and his recommendations.
