Occasionally while running LSD(long slow distance) after about 10 miles I had breathing difficulties, but not all the time.
The doctor wired me up and put me on a treadmill and said go until it happens.
After some time all the monitors started to blink ARRHYTHMIA ...ARRHYTHMIA ....ARRHYTHMIA ALARMS ARE GOING OFF!!! I STILL FELT JUST FINE!
They ask me to continue until the breathing troubles came on. A few minutes later it happened.
The first thing the Doc says, how much coffee do you drink?
I used to drink it all day long and more after dinner!
Excesses caffeine, he said only affects about 15% of us coffee guzzlers.
Now only a two cups in the morning, and no more problems.
Just let that caffeine be!
There are better legal stimulants than caffeine.
I had to give up coffee because even one cup made my heart race. After about 10 years my heart was racing all the time regardless of caffeine consumption. Felt like it was going to pound out of my chest. I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease-probably had it all those years and it just worsened over time. I switched to tea (half the caffeine) in the morning and it’s just enough to perk me up without going into overdrive.
If you have an underlying condition too much caffeine can be dangerous.
I am surprised the woman survived the first dose of 8 liters of cola. That stuff is nasty. Her kidneys should have packed it in!
