I know that Caffeine is contra-indicated for high blood pressure but is there a role for Caffeine in combating fatigue. In tea or coffee or as in tablets of ProPlus ?
Hi , an interesting question for sure and you may want to get a more professional view by posting your question to our Online Nurse Team.
During most of my treatment I went off Caffeine drinks but the very best way I found to overcome my fatigue was to keep active, yes sleep when required but not laying down to the treatment effects so I did little and often activities to keep my body going. - worked for me.
