Andy should really have someone give him a pill which is either contains a cups-worth of caffeine or no caffeine and then measure it. Also, it can take up to 45 mins to metabolize caffeine so I would be cool to see BP measurements over the whole day, since caffeine obviously has an effect into the evening (for me at least).

He refused to take medication and had a heart attack some time later. He started taking green tea(not sure which kind) on a daily basis inreplacement of whatever beverages he use to take. For no apparent reason he went to bend over to pickup some tools he felt like fainting. He immediately got his blood pressure monitor out and tested him self and it turned out his blood pressure readings were low. He hadnt changed his diet, or taken any medications. The only thing changed that week was he started green tea. Since then, his been having relatively normal blood pressure readings one should have.... Hi,

High blood glucose is never a good idea. It draws water out of the cells of the body, increasing the volume of blood, and dehydrating the tissues. Certainly getting blood glucose in check is essential to good functioning, and as you say, it will probably help lower blood pressure as well. Hi Ivan

In my opinion, the doctor should focus on lowering the blood glucose instead of lowering the blood pressure. As what i know, if the blood glucose is lowered than the blood pressure will also lowered.
