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.

Did you have to stop coffee because of those heart like symptoms ?

I have never seen a doctor about it. By the time I stopped coffee I already had some slight arrhythmia so I was quite scared and never pursued any more detailed info.

But yes, I stopped and got better almost instantly.

I think a doctor would recommend to see a doctor, here.

What can I say? Life was hectic and hugely stressful. Stress and depression have the tendency to rob you of your self-preservation instincts. I finally started recouping, some 10-12 years after I started having health problems, but what can you do. Better late than never.
