Caffeine and it's effects

Whenever I have caffeine my nose runs a little bit. At night or when it wears down I start to feel a tingling sensation in my hands and fingers. When I wake up in the morning my nasal passages will be clogged and I feel completely hungover. I drink plenty of water and fluids to try and replenish but I feel like this every time I have caffeine.
What is happening and what does it mean with this? What is causing this reaction?- Re: Caffeine and it's effects uchihaMadara

Usually, the opposite happens. I've heard a runny nose is a withdrawal effect of caffeine too. You could be allergic to something in whatever you're taking with caffeine.

After-effects of adrenaline potentially. Adrenaline is also a type of anti-histamine released when consuming caffeine. The body's natural reaction is to stabilize the adrenaline and it often overshoots. Tingling could be capillary constriction and poor RBC transport to tissues post-caffeine consumption.

What's your typical diet?! How much electrolytes are you consuming daily, especially Magnesium and Potassium.
What is happening and what does it mean with this? What is causing this reaction?In medicine, epinephrine (adrenaline) is used to treat anaphylactic shock, cardiac arrest, and other ailments. Caffeine works by blocking phosphodiesterase activity from breaking down cAMP that, in turn, releases epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. Caffeine is a diuretic that you're very sensitive to as well. Your body most likely does not rehydrate very well at the cellular level. Dehydration can give you a hung-over feeling and tingling in extremeties at 5% water loss. Hospitals typically rehydrate with Normal saline at .9% in water. Try consuming lots of fresh fruits and twice as much veggies with some quality salt, like RealSalt, that's not been processed by excessive heat with anticaking agents like aluminum silicates. Veggies will replenish your K (potassium) and salt will balance it out, and retain water in your system.
What's your pee color typically?

This is a reply to # 1,912,990I think you are right. The runny nose is probably a trigger and effect of an allergy. I'm pretty sure Sugar is one of those. I just don't understand WHY that is. When I avoid Sugar for a week I usually feel really. I have a sweet tooth, but if I have Sugar outside of the norm it totals at about 30-40 grams in addition to the normal grams, which I honestly have no idea the amount.
My diet is usually the same. Eggs, avocado, lean peppered turkey in the morning. Sometimes just walnuts, a half cup of blueberries and gluten free oatmeal. Lunch is usually salad that contains romaine, carrots, diced tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini and some sort of meat cut up. Often I will eat a half cup of broccoli though not every day. I eat walnuts throughout the day, some pecans, rice crackers and peanut butter. If it's not salad it is left overs from the previous night. If that is not some sort of grilled meat with a vegetable, roasted potatoes and salad(which is what it is most often), then it is either broccoli risotto made with turkey sausage, fajitas, home made tacos, white chili, red lentil soup, vegetable soup, or some hybrid of them.
We'll eat out 2 times per week. Coffee only on the weekends. Sounds boring when you type it out like that. haha Usually will have a cup of fruit a day. Most of the time it is blueberries, strawberries or cherries.
I used to take thermogenics and stimulants a lot when I was a young adult/teen for athletic training and when I was weight lifting/trying to gain muscle. Never had any hang over issue at all. Then one day caffeine just made me nervous, gave me a runny nose and made me feel tired and hungover in the morning. I'm sure my adrenal glands have a lot to do with it. But I went off caffeine for almost a whole year and focused on getting them back on track.
Pee is usually clear or light peach color.

This is a reply to # 1,913,692Your diet looks much better than most. Caffeine is unfortunately very addictive and stimulating, it's hard to quit altogether. This may be hard for you, but try Sugar alternatives like Stevia when you have the craving. If you think Sugar is a trigger and you don't like the alternatives, look for organic Sugar - although it's not good for us in the long run. Eating out 2 times per week can mean you don't really know what's in your food, at least a lot less without asking where your food comes from and how it's prepared.
Many people will have compromised Gut health due to Antibiotic use or disease process. An affected gut can be a trigger for many food tolerance problems that cause headaches, anxiety, palpitations, bowel disturbances, and other seemingly unrelated things.- Re: Caffeine and it's effects aperfectcircle

This is a reply to # 1,914,204yeah. was on a lot of Antibiotics when I was younger. for skin(acne) and for bronchitis.
I was too young to know any different. My parents trusted doctors too much with no knowledge of alternatives. I wish I could restore the damage but I'm afraid that's nearly impossible.
I don't quite understand WHY that would cause so many food allergies . What happens and why can't it correct itself? Something is obviously killed off or a problem has been created. It's just puzzling.- Re: Caffeine and it's effects uchihaMadara

That'll do it, permanently change the gut flora... and the lung flora.

Most trust authority figures, yet few question enough and take meticulous notes or observations. When a mistake is made, meticulous notes pay off - especially since you can compare with what actually happened when an itemized bill comes along.

It's just puzzling.Antibiotics mess up the beneficial flora balance that helps our symbiotic digestion. Flora can be symbiotic, neutral, parasitic, or damaging. Post-antibiotic use, most seem to lose the symbiotic beneficial effects and that others tend to take over.

What is happening and what does it mean with this? What is causing this reaction?Sounds like you are simply crashing your adrenals. If your adrenals are weak then it does not take much in the way of stimulants to crash them. This in turn increases the risk of allergic responses, which can cause the symptoms you mentioned.
