Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I would like to confirm that your blood pressure values are within the normal ranges, which means that your blood pressure is under control.

So it is important to closely monitor your blood pressure after taking these types of foods or drinks, in order to determine the quantity that your body can tolerate ( that doesn't cause extreme changes in blood pressure).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
