    I think you should be asking a doctor these questions based on what you say your illnesses are. Not sure that many come here to give advice since they get paid for what they do. Yes to your question, anytime you drink anything with caffiene then it constricts the blood vessels and could cause a slight increase in blood pressure.

    Beware you sound to be falling into the classic allopathic lifelong medications trap.

    This is of course the plan for everyone...and they are trying to start the process much younger now...(Guess we've been kinda lucky to make it to 50+ before falling apart)

    There is a way out... but it takes some strength of will and self discilpline. You will need to turn your back on 'traditional drug based medicine' and look at alternatives that include holistic lifestyle changes

    May require radical diet and lifestyle overhaul...BUT depends on whether you are happy to subside into older age as a drug dependent puppet of big-pharma?

    Key is diet. Diabetes can be overcome using the right diet strategies:
