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.

Are you sure it isn't heartburn? It happens to a lot of people who drink coffee (and hasn't anything to do with the heart).

I really am not. You might be correct. I'll ask the doctors when I get to them.

I just get a first heart rate and shortness of breath when drinking real coffee, so indeed it might be a heartburn.
