SilentOne answered Thursday February 8 2007, 1:47 am: Yes. The items YGM listed, plus many others, including most "energy" drinks, contain stimulant chemicals (Coffee has Caffeine). Stimulants often cause the heart to beat faster, harder, or more erratically.
If you drink coffee on an empty stomach, there will be nothing in your stomach to absorb, or slow your processing of the caffeine, which will make its effects greater. [ SilentOne's advice column | Ask SilentOne A Question ]
