Can coffee cause a heart attack?

I was reading some medical articles on this. Moderate coffee consumption is actually linked to a lower risk of heart issues. However, if someone has pre-existing high blood pressure, too much caffeine can cause a temporary spike, so caution is needed.

I used to blame my chest tightness on 'too much strong coffee' and ignored it for months, which was a huge mistake. It turned out to be a real cardiovascular issue. If you are feeling any chest pain or palpitations, please get a proper cardiac checkup immediately and don't blame it on coffee.

I agree, normal coffee consumption doesn't cause heart attacks. Just limit your intake to 1-2 cups a day to keep your heart rate stable.

I am no doctor, but I can only share that I have been drinking filter coffee twice a day for forty years and my heart is perfectly healthy. It really depends on your lifestyle and genetics. If you feel uneasy, it is best to ask a cardiologist.

As someone who had severe heart palpitations from drinking double espresso shots, I can tell you coffee itself won't cause a heart attack, but excessive caffeine definitely strains your system. My tip is to stick to light milk coffee and never drink it on an empty stomach if you are sensitive.
