Does Taking Hedex Xtra With Caffeine For Pounding Headache Will Have Any Effect On Fasting Blood Test?
I was intending to have a fasting blood test at 8am this morning (UK time) and have fasted since 8pm last night... Unfortunately, I woke with a pounding head at 2.15 and as I have fairly frequent migraine, took 2 Hedex Xtra (with caffeine). Does this have a strong effect on the blood test, or should I postpone til tomorrow?

Hello,
There are chances that the drug, caffeine and stress due to headache may interfere with the blood sugar values. But the change in the blood sugar may not be huge. If the blood sugar value is more than it can be repeat after 15 days to eliminate their influence.
