Caution advised: It is unlikely that the chest pains are serious but anytime you have these you must be cautious and if occurs with shortness of breath, sweating, weakness, or lightheaded feeling then you should see a doctor immediately. Too much caffeine can cause symptoms and is dependent on the amount. If pains are continuing and come with exertion again should seek medical evaluation.

Is it normal to feel your heart pounding and having your chest tight after drinking coffee?
I'm a 35 yr old female and everytime I start to drink coffee I end up having pain in my chest on the left side. I was told back in 1997 that I had developed pleurisy in my chest from drinking energy drinks but I read that caffeine doesn't cause pleurisy.
