Is it really good to drink coffee three times a day? Dr. Julie Radico, a clinical psychologist at the Pennsylvania State University School of Medicine, explained that for some people, caffeine may help improve concentration and spirits, but it may cause trouble for people with anxiety disorders.
Dr. Julie Radico mentioned that a low dose of caffeine is between 50 and 200 mg, but if more than 400 mg is consumed at a single time, it may cause overstimulation and anxiety, and cause symptoms such as heart disease, nausea or abdominal pain.
Dr. Matthew Silvis, deputy director of clinical research in the Department of Family Medicine at Pennsylvania State University, said that anxiety is a common problem, but many patients and doctors do not consider caffeine as a potential factor; he hopes people can think about the relationship between caffeine intake and anxiety.
In addition to its potential impact on people with anxiety disorders, caffeine may interfere with epilepsy, liver disease, chronic kidney disease, and certain heart or thyroid disease medications, making the conditions more difficult to control.
Caffeine is commonly found in coffee, tea and cola. Dr. Matthew Silvis adds that many vitamins or sports nutrition supplements also contain caffeine, but it is easily overlooked.
