Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the increase in blood pressure is related to the use of the energy drinks.
Different energy drinks contain varied components but many contain a high amount of caffeine which can cause increases in both heart rate and blood pressure.
In addition to the caffeine, it is possible that there are other ingredients that can cause this response as well.
