hello,
Blood pressure to be this high only because of caffeine is less likely and also there is significant difference between the blood pressure in two upper limbs which is less likely due to caffeine.
You need to get some investigation done like ct angiogram of aorta and branches. Likely cause for this is stenosis of the major vessels. Reply if any doubts is there.
