Question 4

i have a very strong heartbeat that shakes my body and shortness of breath started 3 months ago when i drank 2 energy drinks and coffee after drinking them i experienced 2 hours of very fast heart rate and shortness of breath dr says i only have tach?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Question 5

why does caffeine slow down my heart rate? if i drink coffee, tea or anything with caffeine my heart slows alot. what would cause this?

Accepted Answer

Atypical reaction: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, of course it speeds up the heart a little bit. If the change was under 10 beats per minute it is just coincedence.

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Vagus nerve: The vagus nerve, when stimulated,causes temporary slowing if the heart rate. Apparently drinking ice cold liquids causes this reaction in your case. My suggestion is to drink cold beverages very slowly. You could wear an outpatient heart monitor which would document such a reaction.
