Question 1

can a few teaspoons of caffeine powder kill a 20 year old with a healthy heart?

Accepted Answer

Yes,it can cause: fatal arrthymias of the heart.

Question 2

for job i must rank top5% at cardiac stress test.can a supplement with caffeine, theobromine, quercetin cause problems with healthy heart (ekg normal)?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Caffeine and theobromine potentially are cardiac stimulants. In individuals susceptible to av nodal reentry tachycardia this condition can potentially be exacerbated when taking those supplements. Quercetin is an antioxidant and is not likely to cause rhythm problems.

Question 3

is it possible for heart become weaker after a caffeine overdose?

Accepted Answer

How much: You can overdose and die from too much water, but within reason, caffeine doesn't weaken the heart. It sometimes will precipitate an arrhythmia in susceptible people which is generally temporary.

Question 4

please advise if it's likely that i will experience cardiac arrest or heart failure while i sleep after a caffeine overdose?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine overdose: What happens to you after a caffeine overdose is highly dependent on your condition going into the od.  If you were otherwise normal, your risk would be far lower than if you had serious cardiac disease. Overdosing on anything is bad.

Question 5

can you tell me if it's likely that i will experience cardiac arrest or heart failure while i sleep after a caffeine overdose?

Accepted Answer

No: It's most likely that you will not be sleeping after a caffeine overdose.

Question 6

can caffeine kill someone with irregular heart beat? my cardiologists says a cup can't hurt but i'm scared . i miss it . it's been over two years .

Accepted Answer

Caffeine: Caffeine can be a rhythm irritant. In general a single cup of coffee isn't enough to cause a problem. There could be an individual with an unusual increased sensitivity however. Why not drink decaffeinated coffee, it tastes much the same and has almost no caffeine.

Question 7

as someone who is young i am worried about my heart because although it is healthy i am overweight, what diets should i pursue to help lose weight and have a healthy heart. i am eager to help my heart since i get a lot of anxiety about my heart?

Accepted Answer

: Before dieting get checked out. See your GP (if you don't have one, find one) for a full physical and baseline lab tests. Your Physician can then craft for you a safe and effective weight loss program that will not place stress on your heart. Note also that your Physician may want you to consult with a Nutritionist.

Question 8

what are the best vitamins to maintain a healthy heart?

Accepted Answer

I suggest none: If you spend time reading the ads promoting supplements, you'd get the idea that they are the key to health and vitamin deficiency the principal cause of disease in the wealthy nations. Not so. You're smart to take a cheap multivitamin-and-mineral supplement; more supplementing if you're a vegetarian, but keep in mind that lifestyle -- not pills -- is the principal way of keeping your heart health.

Question 9

had a perfect nuclear stress test.  can you still have a stroke even with a healthy heart?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Strokes can be caused by clot getting into the brain circulation, high blood pressure and bleeding into the brain, ruptured aneurysm, and traumatic injury among other causes. It's nice that you had a negative nuclear stress test  but that does not rule out vascular lesions that are not yet causing significant blockages. Your hypertension, obesity, and Motrin use would all represent risk factors.

Question 10

could you tell me what are good foods and vitamins for getting a healthy heart and improving circulation?

Accepted Answer

Save Money: You most certainly don't need to supplement with vitamins (unless it's vitamin d, and even then it's a hard maybe). Study after study has found no benefit. Fish oils seems to be pretty great, but only in high doses of &gt;3gm/day of the dha/epa. Google "mediterranean diet" and have a look at this:
