A member asked:

Describe how caffeine can affect your stress level. how does it affect your cardiorespiratory system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Caffeine = stimulant: So it adds to physiological arousal that stress can produce. It will increase heart rate, alertness, and insomnia in some people. It can decrease fatigue and improve concentration. If you have high stress or anxiety, caffeine would not be recommended.
