Hi doctor,
I have been using instant coffee and redbull (1 day/pack) for about 5 years. The unpleasant symptoms appeared about 2 years ago, so I rarely use it again recently. When I drink coffee, I feel pain and numbness in my left breast. With vigorous exercise, the discomfort temporarily disappears and convulsions in the left chest muscles, irregular pulse. I used to have a lot of stress before, but I also feel this pain (slighter). Doctor let me ask if the left chest pain after drinking coffee is okay? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
To the question: “Is it okay to feel pain in the left chest after drinking coffee?” The doctor would like to answer as follows:
The symptoms you describe may be more suggestive of cardiovascular and digestive diseases. Because they often appear after you use coffee and energy drinks. To determine the cause and have a treatment plan, you need to go to the right specialist and may do tests such as: Electrocardiogram, echocardiography and possibly gastroduodenal endoscopy.
If you still have questions about chest pain after drinking coffee, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
