Why does caffeine and sugar affect me so badly?!


Question: Why does caffeine and sugar affect me so badly?
If I have anything from a few pieces of chocolate to a few cups of coffee or soda my heart will start racing for hours, I wont be able to sleep, I will get nauseous, dizzy and I will start to feel really depressed, same thing if I eat sugar! I cant drink tea or coffee or soda or eat chocolate or candy, but especially chocolate and coffee, If I even drink half a cup of coffee my whole day will be ruined! And when I eat really sugary food like M&Ms, smarties, lolipops, cake, brownies, cookies, etc my throat will start burning and I will feel like im going to throw up! I just had a bunch of chocolate mocha cookies (biggest mistake of my life) and I feel like I might throw up soon and I feel very dizzy and I cant sleep :( why does it affect me sooo badly?

Caffeine and sugar is a stimulant, the way it's affecting you, sounds like you have a low tolerance of stimulants.
Stimulants are supposed to make your heart beat faster, make it so it's harder to sleep easier to stay awake, but when only a little bit is doing that, that's not a good thing.

I would need more information, has this been affecting you your entire life or is it something that just came on recently?
If recently did you change your diet?
Do you have any problems eating fruits or drinking any juices?

I'd also say to have your blood sugar level checked out, see if you might have diabetics.
Also get tested for allergies for sugar and caffeine.
I'd suggest going to a doctor.

A change of diet can cause stuff like this also some people have problems eating processed sugar, like whats in candy and no problems eating unprocessed sugar like that in fruits.

Good luck! I hope the information helps!

Chocolate has a lot of fat in it not just sugar so if you combine fat with caffeine that's a bad mix for anyones heart not just yours
