Even when i was in the Navy back in the 80’s and 90’s in the gulf war they told us to limit coffee and drink more water.
My cardiologist has said with obstructive HCM coffee is not helpful because it dilates and dilated veins exasperates the blood trying to leave the heart!
Hope this helps

@brumasterj, thank you for sharing that you served in the Navy for this great Country! My dad and uncle were in the Navy in WWII, and many of my cousins going forward have and are serving. From Viet Nam to right now overseas.
And also welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see you joined recently, and it looks like you are finding your way around here really well.
You share some great advice that @boatsforlife echoes and that which applies to all of us...drinking more water is good for the body!
