@eileenleyva Yes, it's roasted corn seeds . When I was small I remember it's what most of my townfolks drink because it's cheap. or they mix coffee with corn. Nescafe was not popular then. It's very ironic that am drinking it now when actually when we were small our household use pure coffee beans since our grand parents have a coffee farm.

And you really listen to what your doctor tells you? I take doctor's "orders" as a suggestion...

The doctor gets upset, especially when I tell her to calm down and enjoy life a little.

My Mom had hypertension and she never stopped drinking coffee. Limit the intake and do not make your coffee too strong.

I did not have the choice but to stop. I was thinking if I can have decaffeinated type instead. Perhaps I will ask my doctor if I can use this as a replacement.

At least, you are still having it in your system. I hope I can be like you. Regardless, I still need to consider stopping it forever.

@Shavkat whenever I feel that it will start I stop drinking coffee and take medications. It is quite painful really. The first time I felt that way back 2009, I went to the ER. They inject me the medicine

I do, and coffee is a major anti oxidant, with lots of benefits. Any effect on BP is likely temporary. You can read about it online.
