Caffeine is a central nervous stimulant that stimulates the brain and nervous system, increases the rate at which the heart beats, and may even cause arrhythmias when consumed in excess. Caffeine is found in many beverages, such as coffee, black tea, green tea, soda and energy drinks.
Regarding the effects of caffeine on the human body, the Taiwan Family Medical Association has pointed out that when the human body consumes more than 400 mg of caffeine a day, it is easy to increase the risk of epilepsy, atrial fibrillation and arrhythmia. The National Health Service recommends that; Adults should consume no more than 300mg of caffeine per day (about 1-3 cups of coffee); People with heart disease would have to cut their caffeine intake by half, to about 150 milligrams. In addition to making the heart beat faster, too much caffeine is also prone to side effects such as headaches, anxiety, tremors and insomnia. ) Can You drink coffee with a heart attack?

Studies have shown that theobromine intake is directly proportional to increased heart rate, meaning that the greater the amount consumed, the greater the increase in heart rate. Therefore, people with arrhythmia are advised to limit or avoid chocolate consumption.
