Excessive consumption of caffeine has been linked to causing problems with circulation and bone pain. Drinking excessive amounts has also been linked to causing numbness in the hands.
Drinking too many caffeinated drinks should be avoided as they can cause the blood vessel walls to constrict. This may lead to problems with circulation such as cold hands and feet, which can then lead to feelings of numbness. If you suffer from these types of symptoms on a more regular basis it is advisable to see your doctor as you may have a specific condition such as Raynaud’s disease.
Too much caffeine can also lead to putting added pressure on the joints and this explains why some people complain of having pain in their bones after drinking large amounts of energy drinks or coffee for example. There are also some reports such as one carried out by Arthritis Today, that claim too much caffeine can weaken bones and may lead to conditions such as osteoporosis. Although other medical reports claim they need significantly more research into this matter carried out before a direct link can be confirmed between excessive caffeine consumption and bone loss.
Other problems associated with drinking too much coffee or caffeinated, energy drinks include irritability, headaches, stomach upset, rapid or irregular heartbeat and insomnia. There are also suggestions that caffeine can aggravate conditions such as Restless Leg Syndrome or pain in the chest cavity.
On the other hand, an article on WebMD claims that those who drink a few cups of coffee a day may actually benefit from some health perks. For example, they may have less risk of developed Type 2 Diabetes, Parkinson’s disease or Dementia. Although, the article does admit these benefits have not necessarily been medically proven and still need some research to be carried out to back up the claims
