Answer 1

3cups of coffee sound ok . But maybe you should try one or two and see if you feel better. everyone reacts differently to things. It may be that you are anxious and not relaxed . I am a huge coffee drinker and it has never affected me except I think I'm hooked on coffee as if I don''t have one for a day I'll probably get a bad headache. It wouldn't hurt to have a check up at the doctors. I don't know your age but it could be an age related thing.

You are right that drugs affect people differently, and caffeine is a case in point. It's a stimulant that works by increasing the functions of your body, like heart rate. You can get addicted to caffeine, so be careful not to use it frequently. Nor should you exceed the recommended intake of caffeine-based pills, which you can find printed on the packet.

If too much caffeine is taken it can cause health problems, like reducing your body's ability to absorb vitamins. You might get a boost, but eventually your blood sugar levels will fall leaving you feeling even more tired. Too much caffeine can irritate your stomach, cause headaches and insomnia. Long-term risks can also include loss of bone density.

Symptoms of taking too much caffeine at one time (overdose) can include restlessness, nausea, headache, tense muscles, sleep disturbance, and irregular heart rate. An individual might experience symptoms similar to a panic attack, such as seeing flashing lights or experiencing ringing ears. So, if you're concerned about your caffeine intake, you might want to look at alternative ways to get you through this tough time.

Often diet and exercise are the first things to be neglected when you're under pressure. If you can make time, going for a quick walk or eating some fruit will give you a safer, healthier kick than caffeine.

The caffeine will make your body depend on having it, and make you feel like you need. When you don't have your body will feel overly tired because it is used to the caffeine rush. It can make you addicted.
