4 Side Effects of Too Much Caffeine

Coffee and tea are incredibly healthy beverages.

Most types contain caffeine, which of course is a stimulant that can have many beneficial effects on our bodies.

However, high doses of caffeine can have unpleasant and even dangerous side effects.
In this video I'm looking at 4 side effects of too much caffeine.

Too much caffeine gives me that " *chuckles* I'm in danger" feeling.

[catstermarioholoic]

I started getting breathing problems, palpitations, and difficulty sleeping. I've been drinking it every morning for about 7 years, im going to take a break from it now.

I took a energy drink called rush and it said only drink half and took a caffeine pill. Couldn’t sleep last night and still feel it after 12 hours.

i can get "high" from coffee when i drink it i feel so relaxed and everything feels so good

[s.leeyork]

I enjoy my coffee. (Although I began drinking it way too young.) I have coffee in the morning & occasionally a cup after dinner; and I drink tea all day long. For 40+ years, I've had no problems related to drinking it. I guess it's a difference in metabolisms.

I abused pre workout which is extremely high I'm caffeine for about a year. After a year which was 4 months ago. My heart started beating extremely fast and I could see it beating out of my chest. It takes 2 hours to get to the nearest hospital and I was pretty much paralysed and could barely move. It was the most pain I have ever felt in my entire life and I thought I wasn't going to survive. My dad rushed me to the hospital but took 2 hours to get there. When I arrived, the pain had stopped and I seemed fine but my heart still was very tight. I had some tests and it came back fine and apparently it was nothing. The doctor said that if i took what i usually take which is 2 scoups of pre workout that day then i would of had a heart attack and most likely died that night due to it taking so long to get to the hospital.It has been 4 months and haven't been back to the hospital or doctors and I still get these very painful attacks but no where near as bad... even though I am off of caffeine... I chose to abuse caffeine and it has clearly messed my heart up. I really don't want anyone else to go through this and I feel it is going to stay with me for my whole life. I am only 18 years old and already have heart problems. I just wish I could have not been stupid the past year and just take pre workout in moderation. If you are still reading this then never abuse caffeine...

From experience i can tell you that low daily ground coffee consumption can lead to anxiety, paranoia,  palpitations, cravings, and a strong diuretic and bladder irritant effect.For some people its extremely unhealthy.

Have been wracking my brain around why my partners anxiety and extremely bad panic attacks have increased recently - I had no idea how much caffeine was in green tea or how much she was drinking in a day but it turns out that she’s been using around 30-40g dry weight green tea leaf in her infuser. I don’t drink green tea so never tried hers until yesterday when I had a drink that had been in the infuser for around an hour… bitter is an understatement. Decided to do some research into how much caffeine is in that 40g of dry green tea leaf and apparently around 3% of the dry weight is extracted in caffeine meaning within a couple hours, she’s consuming up to 1200mg of caffeine. I suggested she use her reuseable tea bags with around one tsp of green tea leaf(2g) per cup, she’s had one cup and today has been quite smooth so far. I don’t expect it to completely fix her panic disorder but I’m hopeful that this can go some way to helping.

I drank have a liter of cola, and a starbucks triple shot drink (so like 2, 000 mg of caffeine)
and once all that caffeine wore off I felt like a zombie

[sweetlaughter]

I recently quit coffee, and now I fee the way I did in my early 20s before I started the addiction. My mood is better, my anxiety is going way down!

[carmen]

i have a question. is nausea and tremoring a sign of two much caffeine? i had two large cups of iced coffee and im trembling quite a bit, but they aren’t chills. i’m also slightly nauseous.

I am 13 and I was pulling an all nighter (tonight) I had about 40 Fluid Ounces of coffee (black) and now my entire body is shaking, I feel like im gonna vomit, and I have the worst migraine possible! DON'T CHUG COFFEE AT 3 AM!!!

People quitting coffee take at least one month or more to fully recover just like any drugs out there, so yes coffee is a drug. Kratom which is from the coffee plant family and considered a drug has the exact same effects as coffee withdrawal only more intense just like the high they produce, both are addictive. But, both can be very useful and helpful if used correctly and not abused. Saying coffee is not a drug is untrue.

Dude i have been drinking 7 to 10 cups of coffee for the past 5 years and now i managed to reduce it to 2 cups of coffee maximum and 2 cups of tea.

I was driving. I stopped and bought a large cup of coffee. 15 minutes went by and I could not drive because I was so dizzy. I drank lots of water and it took 30 minutes before I felt like driving again.
