I’ve had to significantly reduce my caffeine intake cuz the cardiologist thinks it’s contributing to my tachycardia. I just sold my 9 remaining 12-packs of Diet Mountain Dew to the cashier at my pharmacy…she’s gonna pick them up tonight. I’ve also tried to drastically reduce my nicotine gum usage. Here’s a pic of those Mountain Dews…

Wow. Thats a lot of soda. If it messes with your heart quit. Its just not good for you. Ive seen people buy cases of soda. Lots of them. Damn. Are you trying yo get sick lol.

Maybe check with a doctor. It’s not normal to get a cardiac event when drinking small to moderate amounts of caffeine, but in the meanwhile, be careful.

Try not to worry @roxanna I had to quit caffeine too, it did cause me chest pains but from gerd and esoohageal problems. Not all chest pain is from your heart even if its racing. Rexulti has turned me into a nervous wreck. No more caffeine of any kind. Check with your dr anyway. If youre worried about your heart try to walk 20 mins a day and if your dr clears it take hot baths.

I had eosophagal problems in the past too. I thought it was my cardio system, but it was errosive damadge on the eosophagus that caused it. I went to the ER and they told me after doing some physical tests. It’s in remission, but I need to be careful with acidic foods and drinks.

How did you recover from it?
Good question. I don’t really know. I stayed away from acidic and spicy stuff in the long run. No soda, caffeine or anything like that. Took my daily vitamins, like acid neutral vitamin C.
Now I’m much better(this started 10 years ago), but not fully recovered. I might have a glass of coke now and then, but I’m still pretty careful.

If it contained sugar that can also impact heart racing as can high sodium in the drink. Maybe try drinking more water.
