Q: Can 100 mg of caffeine increase BP? I am taking Oxyelite (a fat burner) and it has 100 mg of caffeine in it per capsule. My BP right now is 140/92. I have also been drinking alcohol and gained weight three weeks ago, at which time my BP was 127/79 and bumped up from 20 mg of lisinopril to 40 mg. Do your blood vessels contract that fast?
A: In addition to caffeine, Oxyelite contains: Bauhinia Purpurea L (leaf and Pod) (Standardized for Bauhiniastatins 1-4), Bacopa Monniera Leaf), 1, 3-Dimethylamylamine (Geranium [stem], Cirsium Oligophyllum (Whole Plant Extract), Rauwolscine (Rauvolfia Canescens L [leaf and Root]. Any of these ingredients could be increasing your blood pressure. Your body reacts very quickly to substances that are eaten. Starting a regular exercise program, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and drinking less will burn fat without the danger of unknown side effects.
