If I drink a full cup of good coffee before exercise I'll likely die of heart attack. My heart is starting to literally ache after I get 3 normal gulps of coffee and wait for 15 minutes.

Other anti-oxidizing drinks like green tea do help a lot though.

It really depends on the person. I was a former coffee addict and even though I mostly have quit coffee for full 10 years now I still can't get back to regularly consuming it. It's either half a cup once two weeks or a very shitty 2-3 days after.

Interesting. I had a similar experience, but recently I started taking levothyroxine and now coffee works exactly as it did 10-15 years ago.

You should check your thyroid gland/thyroxine/TSH level sometime.

Yep, one of my 5 thyroid hormones is having high values so I am definitely going to the doctors soon.

Whether I am epically stupid for not having done it 10 years ago is... entirely another matter.
