I want to loose half a stone and I was recommended a diet pill, however on receiving it it has Caffeine Anhydrous 50mg in it. I suffer from high blood pressure taking antenlol 50mg and ramapril 5mg once a day plus only drink decaff coffee.
I appreciate that this seems a silly thing to do as exercise and healthy eating would be the best option but I am already eating healthily being a vegetarian and I get exercise daily, pushing that at the moment to do more but ... I cant remove the tummy I have and this seemed like a good idea.
My huge concern and doubt is if I drink normal coffee it affects me and I feel ill,
Does anyone have any ideas about this?
What would happen if I took a diet pill containing caffeine anhydrous with blood pressure tablets?

Taking caffeine anhydrous 50mg will most likely increase your blood pressure. Here's an explanation of caffeine anhydrous:
"The difference has to do with the amount of water associated with the caffeine molecule. The term "caffeine" can refer to any form of caffeine, regardless of its water content. “Caffeine anhydrous" has essentially no water—just 0.5%. For this reason, logic and chemistry suggest that anhydrous caffeine is more potent. The anhydrous form could also be more potent because, according to some evidence, the body may absorb it more readily. For all intents and purposes, however, caffeine and caffeine anhydrous are synonymous." Found at HPRC-online.org.

To tighten up your tummy, you may want to do a search for "tummy tightening" or "tummy exercises".
