Coffee/caffeine can both cause and relief migraine. Sound pelik but that can occur..

Caffeine generally cause the blood vessel to constrict (mengecil) ie less blood flow. Withdrawal of caffeine causes blood vessel to dilates hence may result in migrane (due to gushing of blood in the brain). However if u ambik coffee semasa migraine, u can get quicker relief.. coz blood vessel tu constrict/ mengecil (some acute migraine medication acts similarly) and also the medication u take acts faster...cuma still boleh dpt rebound headache lepas tu.

Moral of the story.. kalau selalu dpt migrane..better stop coffee to avoid withdrawal effect (caffeine also found in tea/choc/cocacola!).

In general a person who regularly consumes caffeine has a higher tolerance to the diuretis effect.

Jadi after a while.....less fluid yang kita bole buang with the same amount of caffeiene yg kita amik.

Another thing ...untuk dapatkan diuretic effect, kita at least kena consume 250-30mg of caffeine ( equivalent to 6 cups of tea or coffee ) per one sitting. It is said that caffeine is no more diurtic than water.
