Coffee nerves: Coffee contains several hundred different substances including caffeine, which is a strong sympathetic nervous stimulant. It can cause nervousness, hypertension, tachycardia, palpitations, diarrhea, shakiness, addiction, and can worsen anxiety disorders. It can make you feel alert, but some wonder if it just allows us to do stupid things faster. :-) you already know what it does in your case.
