Sensible advice. Though I don't see a mild stimulant causing a great deal of harm, I think I'll follow it.
It can - as opposed to increasing heart rate, it can also cause irritation to the cardiac myocytes, exacerbating existing arrythmias. I have several patients who have been put on caffeine fasts for all kinds of arrythmias because it can make them significantly worse. It's the safe thing to do at this stage of the game. I hope you visit your doctor and find out what's goin on.
