I began getting occasional rapid heart rate issues in my late 30's. The pounding of the pulse was loud in my ears and also I felt drugged, all I could do was lay down, semi-sleep and I was very stupid. It felt like being in a dream. This was before I developed high blood pressure 15 years later. I gave up all caffeine as at the time I drank 1-2 diet cokes and 3-4 cups of coffee daily (yes I did get a caffeine withdrawal headache for about 3 days). Result- No more rapid pulse. Same thing happened to my sister in her late 30's. I can now get away with 2 cups of black tea a day and I do drink 1 cup of decaf at night.
