    Going without coffee is easy. I'm a pepsi man myself.

    the 4 miles a day, however. Somebody shoot that man.

    Let me guess, you tested high on the machine with the visible display and then the doctor used an old fashion tester that you couldn't see....

    Doc told me that if you drink caffeine daily not drinking any that day will raise bp. And if you double up on bp med same result.

    Seriously, if you have trouble with blood pressure, get it taken care of. Don't try to use band aid measures.
