Chest pain, hot flushes after taking caffeine. Am I allergic to caffeine?
Patient: Hi,I took 1 100mg caffeine pill today, and about 5 minutes later I was experiencing slight chest pain, not constant but it was there for a good half hour, then I experienced hot flushes an hour after the chest pain. I've drank coffee before, so it's not a allergic reaction to caffeine, I was wondering why I experienced chest pain.Thank you.
