Brief Answer:
Never drink coffee on an empty stomach

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question, checked the reports...
I understand your concerns...

Please note, you should never drink coffee on an empty stomach as this leads to gastric irritation and increase gastric acidity leading to nausea and vomiting. It also increases cortisol level in the blood leading to increased heart rate and palpitations.

In addition, you need to cut on the fatty intake and increase the fiber content in your diet to decrease cholesterol levels in your blood. Also, you need to take phosphorus supplements.
