Everything you need to know about caffeine sensitivity and how differs from a caffeine allergy
More than 50% of American adults drink coffee every day, meaning that at least half of us rely on caffeine to give us our daily boost. However, although caffeine consumption is high, many people also struggle with caffeine sensitivity, which manifests in symptoms such as heart palpitations and jitters, which can be concerning to experience.
Dr Ross Perry, GP and medical director of Cosmedics , explains: “Most of us are all too aware of the buzz we get shortly after consuming caffeine – some feel more awake, others have a burst of energy and others feel a little bit shaky. This tends to happen around 20 minutes after drinking something containing caffeine,” he says. “If you’re someone who feels a little bit shaky or perhaps finds themselves needing the loo shortly after, it could be you’re intolerant or sensitive.
“Often symptoms are experienced due to metabolizing caffeine slower than normal, leading to caffeine remaining in the system for longer. Those with caffeine sensitivity may be able to tolerate small amounts of caffeine, depending on their individual capacity to metabolize caffeine, however, those with caffeine allergy will likely react to even a small amount of coffee. Since people with caffeine sensitivity metabolize caffeine more slowly, their symptoms may last for several hours.
Brodell adds: “Caffeine sensitivity can manifest as a racing heartbeat, headaches, nausea, anxiousness, and difficulty sleeping. The extent of symptoms may vary depending on the level of sensitivity an individual experiences as well as the amount of caffeine consumed. The symptoms associated with caffeine allergy are slightly more severe in that a person can develop itchy skin, rash and increased irritability and shakiness.
