Why Some People Can't Handle Coffee - Sharp Science

While java love is widespread, some people can't handle the jittery effects of coffee. Why is it that some people can chug coffee like water while others can't have a single sip without feeling like their hearts are going to pop out of their chest? Dr. Marilyn Cornelis from Northwestern University explains the genetic reason behind this phenomena.

Oh and the best part NO SLEEP.

I am not able to metabolize caffeine very well and I spend many years misdiagnosed with bipolar because of caffeine allergy. I was on many meds and off and on in the psych ward until finally a doctor diagnosed me with caffeine allergy... so I stopped drinking caffeine and all of my bipolar symptoms went away within just a couple of weeks. That was 3 years ago and I haven't had any problems with symptoms of bipolar since. And yes I am medication free it was all the caffeine and it destroyed more than half of my life before finally finding out the real reason for my issues.

[@chrisduncan3943]

I periodically get coffee intolerance and I have to go a long time without drinking it. I get panic attack symptoms combined with a feeling of exhaustion and dizziness. After a long break I can drink it for a while until something kicks in and I start getting a bad reaction again. Green tea, black tea and even the occasional caffeinated soda are usually ok in small quantities.

Since Coffee makes it harder for the body to rid itself from stress hormones I woudn't advise people to train themselves to drink it if they experince anxiety from it. If you can't get through the day without coffee you might have problems with your adrenals or are just addicted. (I drink it only occasionally)

I used to drink large coffees with absolutely no problems from the age of 16-22, but now it gives me stomach aches and makes me feel tired and crappy. It's crazy that I could drink coffee and the only thing it did was make me poop (didn't even energize me or anything, I just drank it because I liked the smell and flavor), but then one day it was like a switch got flipped and now I can't even make it through half a small cup without feeling like absolute garbage for the rest of the day. That's not genetics otherwise I would have felt like crap when I first started drinking coffee. They need to research what's going on with people who can drink coffee fine for part of their life and then be completely intolerant to it for the rest of their lives, because even now at 25 I still feel like crap if I drink more than a few sips.

Oh my goodness that's the same situation as mine. From 15-18 I was completely fine drinking coffee. It didn't really help me stay awake or be energized but I liked the taste and then it's like all of a sudden drinking coffee would give me really bad jitters and very bad anxiety. I still drink it occasionally (like once a month) because damn, some of my favorite drinks have coffee in them, but I do regret it for the remainder of the month before committing the same mistake again hoping it'll be different this time.

[@thewaht511]

the most upsetting thing for me is when a coffee tastes so good but my body's not having it.

In middle of road while walking back home all of a sudden my throat started feeling dry and my heart started palpating and I felt I was having heart attack. I had to call my colleagues to get ambulance and after all tests by all vitals and my heart was ok. They asked me what I ate or drink the whole day and I had long meetings and I was hungry and there were only Croissant and coffee and hungry me had two coffees and croissant and even had to tea before leaving work. I was short of breath, heart was beating hard, fatigue and now back from ER and looking for answers. I always had mild stomach discomfort from coffee but I was never a coffee lover and always blamed the lactose in the milk.

[@princessyonna5604]

Sodas , chocolate, spicy foods, coffee gives me those symptoms. I was diagnosed with gerd. After many different tests like X-ray, cat scan, MRI and even an endoscopy where they looked in my throat and stomach nothing is severely wrong with me . Just acid reflux which means I have to stay away from really acidic stuff or it’ll trigger something in my body. After getting used to it I’m able to remind myself it’ll be alright after a few hours passes by , that has kept me from going to ER When I was new to this feeling it was scary and I was back and forth to the hospital because u feel like you’re dying

I had a Grande cold brew from Starbucks today. For three hours, I was doing Heath Ledger's Joker impressions. Three. Straight. Hours. Non-stop. Accompanying that was the feeling that I needed to move forever and my heart started beating out of my chest. Then, I became incredibly self aware and anxious, trying to hide the fact that I was super hyperactive. That only led to intense jitters, a stomach ache, and I had a nervous breakdown and then i felt like i would die. Now its midnight and I can't sleep worth a damn. No more caffeine for me!! 😁

Thanks for making this informative video, it helps me understand why I am the way I am. I simply cannot handle even an itsy bit of caffeine whether it is from coffee or tea.. Any source of caffeine is a no from my body to me. It makes me jittery, worsens my anxiety and makes me insomniac.

[@Feex92]

Only one combination makes me feel very bad. When I am hungry and have caffeine in my body. For example: If I drink coffee on an empty stomach, I start feeling anxious, nervous, jittery, my arms and legs are shaking. The same thing happens if I go hungry while caffeine is still in my system. For example: i drink coffee while Im full and one and a half hour later I start getting hungry. In the same moment that I start feeling hungry, all those caffeine intolerance symptoms come as well.

some day I can drink many cups and feel no effects as if I just drank juice. but other days one sip of coffee I will immediately feel sick and my heart races. it's makes no sense 😟

[@mancerrss]

I love coffee but I can get past drinling another cup of it in a row, I get somewhat sick like I want to vomit but not, also I get it when I drink it somewhat cold. Is that what do you call jitters.Also could other type of coffees contribute to this different responses too?

[@alejandrohall314]

used to be a ft smoker, super caffeine rush today and found this video. good stuff.

[@lonewolf1928]

i love the taste of coffee but my body can't handle it and i hate it so much because i love it but my body won't allow me to enjoy it

[@boiyonetta]

My first cup: wired My second cup: Nausea + headaches, abdominal cramping and loss of appetite. My biological brother on the other hand.....4 cups later and he's completely fine.

[@mercuryme1375]

I like the taste of coffee, but i just cant handle the effect. One cup of coffee is enough to ruin my entire day. I would feel like im gonna faint, cold sweating, like my heart going to fail.

[@donnarachiele1226]

The last sixmonths i cannt drink coffee without getting physically sick im 58 yrs old

[@RobinEgret]

Wow I’m not alone. Everybody around worships coffee while I begin to shake and get anxiety the second I drank the smallest cup

[@kimtan5150]

I feel like nauseous and want to vomit everytime i tried to drink coffe with just one sip.

[@graceysladea7950]

I definitely hate the taste of it. Even with sugar in it it still tastes horrible when I tried it like that. It's weird though, if it were a flavour in an ice cream, I wouldn't mind😀

[@goody-two-shoes]

Everytime I drink coffee, I feel I am awake but after an hour or something my hand starts to shiver a little and I get hungry quickly even though I usually eat well before coffee. I searched for this problem but I didn't find enough material but I think I am senstive to caffeine but I cannot cut off coffee cause I like it and cannot do well without it. WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

[@lalruatpuiikhiangte7030]

I can’t drink more that I cup per day. If I drink more, I will always end up feeling sick, nauseous and jittery 😬

[@fun2lk]

Oh I can relate, I cant tolerate coffee even for one sip. gets bad jitters.

[@eiluvart0416]

I’m confused because both my parents and my entire family has no problem with caffeine, but I feel sick and insanely jittery if I have any. I wonder if the fact I never had any sort of caffeine until I was probably 17 or 18 plays into the fact, like I am not as conditioned to it or something?

[@QUINCYLAND]

Both my parents drink coffee and I cant, I was able to butt then one day my body just decided to disagree with it. :(

[@specializedchemicals6669]

My parents drank so much caffeine but it makes me feel tired yet still energized. Still drinking it though.

[@thessasolis8610]

I can drink coffee when I'm at home but if I'm going to work and travel i hesitate to drink coz it made me dizzy and my head can't relax and my heart palpitates so fast . It mostly happen when i drink native coffee, I guess the caffeine is more stronger than the 3 in 1 coffee.

[@kikitam6415]

I feel nauseous after drinking coffee

[@iiamsaron]

I have a sensitive stomach so when I drink coffee my stomach bubbles up or gets extremely gassy and gets very painful so I stopped drinking it but I really miss it and I want to find a way i can drink it again

[@hiroglyphix]

I wonder what makes me feel this way in coffee. I can drink preworkout just fine, and I take caffeine pills on days when I don’t need to work out but need a pick me up but when it comes to coffee.. my body is like NOPE Anyone get this too?

[@chrishnah]

I definitely can handle caffeine in tea much better than coffee

[@platinumseraph5228]

Interesting. Good video.

[@Stonechimp24820]

Just downed 3 cups to study and I starting shaking terribly

[@spiritualak5147]

Is it just me or does anyone else legs get jittery when walking or driving after caffeine

[@maybeimurangel]

I mostly drink coffee when I'm constipated 🙃 bcs coffee acts like a laxative for me lol. So I usually avoided coffee when hanging out in cafes, mostly sticking to teas or chocolates. Non coffee drinks basically. There are certain coffees from some specific cafes that my stomach can tolerate though - not sure why!

[@imamenace7709]

I can drink cold coffee but I cannot drink hot coffee. Chest pain and anemic starts and it feels like it can knock me out anytime. Mocha Frappuccino can knock me out too

[@ChaoLegacy]

I love Coffee, But If i took the wrong one, It could took me to the hospital immediately. Sometimes my stomach could be hurt very badly, I can not eat any food , even just drink water, it could cause me threw up immediately. I usually need to take couple of weeks to recover from this issue with medical treatment.

[@alysondestiny3130]

Coffee *doesn't even* make me energized , a few sips makes me *nauseous* and gives me a *bad* headache, plus a stomach ache.That didn't happen even when I was a kid like 10 but now I just can't drink even half a cup without feeling horrible idk if its genetic though because the rest of my family is more than fine with coffee.

[@adambutler3266]

I felt disabled after a coffee today, was awful. I felt anxious, dizzy, couldn’t concentrate.

[@treefrog3090]

After 1 cup I feel like throwing up and I get really shaky but I don’t feel energized and end up feeling more tired

[@rabbitlove1785]

Never knew smoking and coffee drinking could be intertwined, explains why my mom drank so much.

[@arxeha]

whenever i consume 1 cup of coffee, my heard beats too hard my ribcage felt so pressured and it's so aching

[@aisahjlacsaman7262]

I really like coffee before, like it's my favorite drink in the morning and in cold days. Later, I experience too much stress and start to have a heart problem, everytime I drink coffee my heart beats like abnormal, shorten breathe, and I can't sleep like -,- I miss drinking coffee though, what should I do, sad.

[@gnsau]
