sudden caffeine intolerence
Feb 28, 2006

I've been taking combovir & viramune for a few yrs , plus ateneol 4 BP, around new years I suddenly noticed caffiene , even 1/2 coke significantly raises my blood presure , I thought it was due to the suppliments i was taking , but apears to be something else, any lab tests u could suggest ,besides ' a complete physical' my so called drs typical responce is rarely anything except 'dont worry'

Response from Dr. Henry

Interesting. Some patients develop worse hypertension with age which can include more sensitivity to caffeine. I am unaware of a clear link between hypertension/caffeine related to your current antiretroviral regimen. An evaluation of liver and kidney status may be reasonable to look for possible explanations after discussion with your HIV specialist. KH
