HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Drinking coffee increases both diastolic and systolic blood pressure. These effects can sometimes last until the next day (Caffeine consumption and blood pressure: an epidemiological study. International Journal of Epidemiology. 17(1):90-7). Such a situation could be especially harmful for those who suffer from hypertension. High blood pressure is also a contributing factor in developing cardiovascular disease.

GASTROESOPHOGEAL PRESSURE

Drinking coffee increases gastroesophogeal pressure, which increases the likelihood of acid reflux and heartburn (Relationships between the acidity and osmolality of Popular Beverages and reported Postprandial Heartburn. Gastroenterology. 108(1): 125-31).
