what's your caffeine intake?

I used to drink 4-5 20oz Mt Dews a day. I would start 1st thing in the morning (my cofee). I had massive amounts of stress with my job these seemed to go hand in hand. About 4 years ago, I ended up in the Hospital with chest pains, thinking I was having a heart attack. They ran the full gamut of tests to find nothing wrong. A week later I had a meeting with the doctor & he determined that the caffeine & stress were causing my issues. I quit Mt Dew completely for several years. Now I can have it once in a while (maybe once/twice a month) without causing any issues.

We do not keep any pop in the house & neither of us drinks coffee. I always have pop when eating lunch, since my job is ‘on the road’. I start the morning with a bottle of Aquafina every day. I’m sure this is safer, but I’m sure I still drink too much pop. If I had the ability to cook my own lunch everyday, I bet I would drink less pop.

I am on the road every day also. I pack my lunch and take a water bottle with me.
