I used to drink 15 cups of coffee a day. Now it’s down to 2. That was not a deliberate choice; it just sort of happened.
At my peak, I had a doctor friend who swore that my excessive consumption would cause an irregular heartbeat. So I abstained from all caffeine for 24 hours and crawled to the hospital. He hooked me up to an EKG and got a baseline. Then I drank a cup of coffee and repeated the test. I went through 12 cups and there was no significant change in the EKG. Everything was normal.
His conclusion was, THAT FOR ME, coffee did not cause an irregular heartbeat. He also gave me a second opinion: I was very unlikely to get a urinary infection; I went the the bathroom about a half dozen times.
