If Your Heart Still Races Even After You Quit Coffee
의료 감수 Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD
If the palpitations remain even after you've quit coffee, the cause may not be caffeine but your autonomic nervous system.
Caffeine can "trigger" palpitations, but if your sympathetic nervous system is already tilted toward tension, the palpitations continue even after you stop caffeine. An oversensitive regulator reacts strongly even to small stimuli.
- The palpitations remain even after you cut back on caffeine and stimulants
- They get worse with tension, fatigue, or at night
In cases like this, rather than blaming caffeine alone, we need to also look in the direction of calming down the oversensitive autonomic nervous system itself.
