My Heart Pounds Hard And Causes Pain After Having Coffee
After a cup of coffee, my heart pounds hard and causes pain..is this okay? This is my second time of happening after a drink of a simple coffee. It s mild on caffine too. Is it because my heart is weak on caffine ? or i drank it too fast? It starts to be painful like somebody s squeezing it. Should I go see a doctor? And is this a sign of a heart disease? :(
You should go see a doctor.
I have heard of heart pains described as 'squeezing'.
Chest Pain
New onset chest pain always requires evaluation by your doctor. If the pain is severe, you should seek immediate medical care.
Even if the chest pain is not severe, emergency care is needed if the chest pain is crushing or squeezing or is accompanied by one or more of the following symptoms
shortness of breath
discomfort or tingling in the arms, especially the left arm
pain in the back
tightness or pain in the lower jaw
profuse sweating
lightheadedness or loss of consciousness
