Answer to Question 2

Caffeine may cause loss of water through urination in some individuals. This can cause the kidneys to release too much water and send a signal to the nervous system that the blood pressure needs to be raised to ensure filtration of blood within the kidneys. This can cause the blood pressure to increase.

Caffeine acts as a stimulant that may cause an increase in the release of adrenaline that can also increase the blood pressure. (www.mayoclinic.com)
