How Does Caffeine Affect You?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
New Bern, NC

How does caffeine affect you? Since I’ve been home from the hospital, I’ve started drinking regular coffee. Lately, I’ve noticed my heart rate is regularly between 100-120 with a resting heart rate of 85-95. I’m wondering if I need to switch to decaf.

I cant tolerate regular coffee since SCT. I found a super clean tested decaf that tastes great made by Purity Coffee. I order it online. They are willing to provide lab proof their coffees are free of molds, contaminants, and the decaf is truly low in caffeine.

It might help PhilYandel to switch to decaf.I am taking Omeprazole for heartburn, and I also drink decaf green tea with honey.
