Libby Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 No one is awake for me to complain to, so I'm popping back in the forum to do it here. My tolerance for caffeine just keeps dropping. I've known for a while that I can't drink coffee. Today I had maybe 6oz of diet coke at a party and my hr is still 100+ 7 hours later, just lying in bed. On 100mg of toprol.I used to drink diet coke by the gallon in college. I'm glad to be rid of the habit, but I wish I could have it once or twice a year without feeling so...ew.Ugh. I just want to sleeeeeeep. ETA: I love beta blockers. Half a dose and I'm down around 80 bpm. So much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 It's a double edged sword for me. Caffeine brings my heart rate down from the vasoconstriction but makes my anxiety and edginess worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jknh9 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I can't do caffeine hardly at all these days, either. I used to be ok with iced tea, but the other day it gave me crazy palpitations. Argh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
