I Stopped Drinking Coffee

Hi ronadelle! Maybe it's the caffeine that's making you feel that way? Caffeine makes a person more nervous than usual so I guess it can make your heart pump heavily, too. If you think that coffee is the real reason why you feel that way, then it's better to totally stop drinking it. It might not be good for your health anymore.

I am a coffee drinker, if I don't have my coffee in the morning I don't function. My regular routine is a cafe con leche in the morning (Cafe Latte). I normally make it in the office or if not I drive by McDonald's, Dunkin Doughnuts or Starbucks, but it is imperative that I have it in the morning. I am not to fond of drinking coffee either in the afternoon or evening. If I drink coffee later than 3PM, I tend not to sleep that night, so I always avoid coffee after 3. I am going to assume that since you don't consume caffine on a regular basis that this probably why your body reacts the way it does. I remember the first time I drank a five hour energy drink or a redbull I had a similar experience, that probably why I avoid drinking them now. If felt as if my heart was literally going to pump out of my chest. Caffine can do that if your body isn't accostumed to it.

It must be the caffeine that is present in the coffee. Check it at the web. But I want to add that tea also has caffeine, unless you buy decaffeinated tea or coffeee. And Coca Cola is also full of caffeine. You might want to check your doctor, just in case. Take care!

i think you must check about the caffeine in your coffee...it make something wrong in your coffee.maybe

they say to choose tea than coffe,milk better to tea,so its is ur own health which says what u want,try what ur health needs.

That is pretty strange coz I know this person and he is a coffee lover and says he palpitates when he doesn't get enough of his coffee dose. It just sounds scary to me. I love coffee but don't and can't drink them much. But I am ok like this :)

I had stop drinking soda (with or without caffeine) to see if that proves about my nervousness too. I don't drink coffee at all and hope I don't intend to but I drink lots of soda. I had meningitis when I was a kid so as i grew older, the doctor said I may suffer from seizures every once in a while. My dad and everyone told me its because of the soda and I feel that is not. Now I am just laying of the soda for while, at least til I get another seizure. If it happens, I'll just drink soda every once in a while. If it doesn't I think I have to stop for good (not even once in a while). But back to the topic, I figured coffee does really make you feel like that because my cousins is like cranky and gets mad too easily especially when things don't go her way. I thought to myself it was probably because of her bad childhood but then wonder her sisters was never like her nor her brother. I soon figured it was because of the coffee she drinks too often. Especially the coffee from Starbucks and other of their "with caffeine" flavor drinks.

I am a coffee drinker. drinking four or five cups a day, starting from breakfast time. Recently, I noticed that my blood pressure gets aggravated after drinking coffee. I have been drinking strong coffee then. So, now I have changed to decaffinated coffee, and I take that with lots of milk, and sugar. That's much better.

i am a coffee lover too and sometimes i drink tea and other beverages. coffee has anti oxidant property from what i read and if someone like to be awake till night then coffee is best for them. but too much coffee is also bad such as all things that get abused turn to worse. consuming too much coffee lead to becoming hyperactive and makes the mind awake so result not being calm. i also experience the same things i become super active that i always felt nervous.

Hi Like you i didn't know the reason too. But i have read many responses here and I guess there can be some of them. About drinking coffee.. I really liked it but I take it rarely. Not because of any health issue. But still here people used to take more tea or milk. But I have heard that coffee can be bad for health.. But i have also heard somewhere it is good for health. So its hard to decide.

I used to feel that before. I was kind of addicted to coffee, especially cappuccino and latte. After drinking frequently for two weeks, I felt that my heart palpitated. I found out that it's because of drinking too much coffee. Since then, I just drink two coffees a day, and I never palpitated again. I have read that the caffeine is the cause of palpitation. The higher the intake of caffeine, the higher the risk of palpitation. P.S. I palpitate whenever I drink too much coffee from Starbucks and Costa.

Me too. I stopped drinking coffee back in college because I get these scary palpitations! Any drink with caffeine in it makes me feel so out of breath. I had to stop. but I miss coffee though.

i love coffee and i am a coffee lover ,but i know it is not so good to drink too much coffee,maybe it is a good news that you stopped drinking coffee.

After 25 years I gave up coffee because it did the same to me. I thought it was going to be a hard change but thankfully it wasn't! I hope you are feeling better!!

I get the same effects whenever I drink coffee. I don't drink it as often because the palpitations irritated me and got me worried sick. However when I started reviewing for my licensure examination months ago I drank one to two glasses a night to keep me awake during nightfall since my brain works well during the evening. I got used to it and the effects lessen a bit. Good thing was that I passed my exam. I don't drink that often anymore even if I got used to it. Whenever I feel like drinking I just indulge in it may be 1-2 times a week in the morning to keep my system charge up.

Like everyone else has said, I'm sure it's the caffine. They have caffeine-free and "half-caf" (half the caffeine as normal coffee) types out there that you could definitely check out if you miss the taste of coffee. But otherwise, great decision to cut out or at least cut down on caffeine! I totally need to do that, too!

It happens because today the coffee is made not by mixing it in MILK but the instant ready made coffee is making the natural ingredients deficient which makes our Body problems. Even i used to drink that for three months at office. but after few days realising i swithced to milk and juice rather than this powder coffee and stuff. GOOD POST

i love coffee and tea as well. But i know when to cut them down so i absolutely enjoy hot hot coffee..

I think you drink too much coffe. Coffe contains chemical called caffeine which can cause certain effect on the heart. My advice don't too much drink coffe. Drink tea

I guess it just how your body reacts on the component of the coffee. Maybe your body cannot handle too much amount of caffeine present in the coffee.
