âReinstating the draft and requiring women to register for the Selective Service would compel the American public to have a stake in the wars we fight as a nation. We must question why and how we go to war, and who decides to send our men and women into harmâs way.â.ep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) wants all Americans to serve their government, including women. On Friday he introduced one bill that would reinstate the draft and another that would require all women to register for Selective Service as well.
Answers from Sheldon G. Sheps, M.D. Caffeine can cause a short, but dramatic increase in your blood pressure, even if you don't have high blood pressure. It's unclear what causes this spike in blood pressure. Some researchers believe that caffeine could block a hormone that helps keep your arteries widened. Others think that caffeine causes your adrenal glands to release more adrenaline, which causes your blood pressure to increase.
The evidence is mounting that caffeine and coffee do increase blood pressure. It seems what is up for debate is how much. If you want to lower blood pressure, reducing or eliminating coffee and caffeine can be a step that you and your doctor can discuss.
