Can caffeinne make you breathless?

[gordie1]

HI im feeling all breathless again and I think it is caffeine linked. The last times I have been breathless I have had caffeine. I had 2 cups of coffee today at starbucks and 2 cans of diet coke. I am wondering if that can cause breathlessness? It is like I cant catch my breath. I am not worried as I have had this before and I am still here.

caffeine is not good for anxiety so that in turn will cause breathing issues.

since I started having anxiety issues I've had to be really careful with caffeine. When I drink coffee or cola/pepsi/lucozade and am anxious it WILL give me palpitations and feelings of breathlessness. I can drink them when I'm well, but I have to be relatively careful. Dough egberts instant decaff is very nice substitute :)

This link gives a brief breakdown of how much caffeine is in different things. Not to keep count or anything like that, its just useful info.

Since I had a bad episode of ectopic heart beats (not dangerous) I can't even have tea or coke.

Everything I have now is decaf!

I try to drink decaf now.
