A member asked:

What effect can caffeine have on the body over time? im worried i consume to much, and that my heart flutters are associated with my caffeine intake.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Various: Too much caffeine can give you headaches, insomnia, stomach pains, increase urination, increase heart rate. One or two cups a day is okay.

44yr fm: Trying to diet and reduce sugar, so started drinking caffeine free herbal tea (Celestial seasonings, because I have caffeine sensitivity) instead of juice. Now it gives heart flutters, so does this mean these teas actually have caffeine?

Last night while falling asleep, my heart rate increased from resting to workout rate. A week ago, I took a caffeine pill for the first time. Is there a connection between the two? When should I be worried? I only take regular supplements. Thank you?
