Drinking coffee with cold medicine can raise blood pressure dangerously and cause stomach pain. Here’s what to know before your next cup.

If you’ve ever popped a cold pill and reached for a coffee to power through, you’re not alone—but you might be putting your health at risk. Many people assume coffee helps with energy or offsets the drowsiness of medication, but combining the two can have serious consequences, especially with certain types of cold drugs. Beyond that, there are also misconceptions about coffee causing "internal heat" and whether timing your coffee before workouts aids fat burn.
