Caffeine intolerance

[KarateKen]

It has come to my attention that I am becoming more sensitive to caffeine and am feeling it sick for a bit after I drink it.  I mostly drink caffeine after lunch because I feel a drop in energy and usually start to feel sick about 30-60 minutes after I start the caffeine.  So I am getting off the caffeine, but would be curious to know what you drink for a pick me up during the day if you are feeling sluggish that is not caffeinated? 

I have the same problem now with fried chicken, it makes me feel sick to my stomach.  I did not have these problems a few years ago, just a sign of getting older I guess.

Because of my Afib caffeine is a big no-no which is a let down because I love several cups of coffee in the morning or whenever the weathers cold.

caffeine can raise blood sugar levels, as can fried chicken, which can make one sluggish or cause nausea or a "sick" feeling after eating,. while chicken itself is a protein the breading is usually flour based which is all carbs. and depending on what spices are used... you may want to have an a1c test next visit to the docs just to rule out anything medical..... probably nothing but helps to know for sure.

Thanks.  I actually had a blood test done about six weeks ago and everything was normal.

cool, the only reason i mentioned this was you said this was a fairly recent occurrence. so just better to be on the safe side and rule out any health issues.
