She suggested more water, less coffee and suggested I see my regular doc to be sure. I guess the six coffees I have each day are catching up with me. I need the coffee to help get over the depression during the day.
I hope the heart beat turns out to just be from the coffee/anxiety. In terms of anxiety, as someone who is sensitive to caffeine and has recently switched from coffee with tea to reduce caffeine intake, it has made a huge difference. It has improved my sleep schedule, made it easier for me to concentrate believe it or not (due to decreased anxiety I guess) and made me feel so much more relaxed. I hope you also have such benefits.
