Question

i love coffee i am a true addict if you will..........about a month now i had to stop drinking milk so i swtiched brands nescafe to maxwell house- i love nescafe with cream but black is just nasty---maxwell house instant black i love it !!! but i noticed i have alot of headaches, the back of my neck hurts and im nauseated quite often ......im going to stop drinking black coffee .........has this ever happened to anyone ? i remember feeling weird if i had black coffee as a child over a period of time.....

Answer 1

headaches are likely from the caffeine change, I get them if I skip a day of drinking coffee.  Don't know about the neck problems, maybe repost this in the medical/nutrition section will get a better answer

Answer 2

Do you mix water with it? Instant coffee does nothing that regular won't. If you are lactose sensitive use a non-dairy. But any sane amount of caffeine use should not be too uncomfortable. More than 3 Vivarin at once could get a little nervy.......

Answer 3

I remember reading somewhere that caffeine sometimes triggers headaches (though, when I have a migraine caffeine does just the opposite). It's also a fact that tension headaches can make you nauseated and cause neck pain due to the said tension. On the other hand...probably the caffeine just isn't agreeing with you anymore. I drink black coffee every single day and I've never had any bad side effects...except for the time when I drank two full cups in a row, which made me quite jumpy. lol!
