Answer 1

yes it  increases your blood pressure and heart rate. caffeine is a cns stimulant. It constricts your blood vessels, thats is why it make your bo and hr increase

Answer 2

Caffeine increases your pulse rate (the number of times your heart beats per minute) and over time can increase your blood pressure.

One cup a day is fine, according to most experts.

Answer 4

I was 17 and I drank 3 icecaps a day. I was hospitalized after a month for having an irregular heartbeat. I had so much caffeine in my system, my heart had an extra beat in it and I had to stay in hospital for 4 days and take pills to make it stop. It was beating so fast, If i were to do anything physical i could have had a stroke. Caffeine does increase blood pressure. Since Ive gotten rid of the caffeine, i have had no problems. I was so addicted to those icecaps, however now that I dont drink any coffee, if i even have a sip they taste Nasty!!
