Will BP Increase After Drinking Iced Fruit Drink?

Hi Dr. Grief, Today I got my blood pressure tested after drinking a cup of icy fruit drink. I found the results were like high blood pressure: 148/87. I was wondering if blood pressure will go up after you eat/drink something iced or just eat some food in a hot summer? Is there a certain relationship? Thanks.

Generally, there is nothing about eating or drinking that would raise a person's blood pressure. If the icy fruity drink was a margarita, then the salt could raise your blood pressure. Salty foods or drinks will raise your BP; conversely, cutting down or eliminating these will lower BP. Also, caffeine, such as that contained in coffee, iced coffee, iced teas, most teas, or "energy drinks" will certainly raise BP. Caffeine and other stimulants, such as those contained in some decongestants or some medications used to treat ADHD can raise BP.
