I usually drink more than 1 cup of coffee in the morning. It is black coffee, no sugar or milk in it. But now, I feel my hands shivering or my heart beating so fast. I have just turned 30. Or should I say, yeah, I am 30 already?:)

I bet you make your coffee pretty strong and don't eat anything with it. The surgar and milk helps absorb it some, along with food. Without that, it's right in your bloodstream, with that caffeine pumping up your heart beat and gets your nerves acting up as well.

I do make it strong and I don't add sugar or milk. It is the first thing that enters my mouth in the morning while preparing my food for breakfast. When i arrive at work then I drink another cup again which I always bring with me from home.

taiwanlife Caffeine does give some people the jitters..why not try cutting back to half a cup if you can and see if you improve. It's worth a try..especially if your current amount speeds up your heart rate...

I finally did. I felt better. I should just take one cup a day, just in the morning.:)

I like drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee too but that's for the whole day. Now I've changed and I just make sure I only drink once a day. They say too much coffee is really bad for the health that's why I'm drinking in moderation.

Well, maybe it is time to limit your caffeine intake. Aside from coffee, do you also take other products with caffeine in it like pop?

Then you must stop drinking coffee in the morning or if not reduce the volume. What you experienced is maybe a side effect of what your doing. You can also cure yourself by drinking more warm water. Too much coffee is not good for your nervous system, if doubt why not read medical health encyclopedia it was well explained there, I just can't remember the volume and page.

Thanks. I started cutting coffee intake today. I had just one cup this morning then had another cup at lunch, only because a friend came to join me. He brought some dessert which of course had to be accompanied with coffee. Then I had to meet someone early this evening for coffee supposedly but I went for a fruit juice.:)
