Why Do I Feel Weak And Disoriented After Drinking Coffee?

I quit smoking 3 1/2 weeks ago and now I'm noticing that when I drink coffee 20 minutes or so later I feel weak and disoriented. I'm not sure what's going on. I tend to get very hungry and very thirsty and urinate a lot. This only happens with coffee and not pop

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Coffee contain good amount of caffeine. It raises blood pressure and increase anxiety in anxiety prone or stressed individuals.

Hunger, excessive thirst and frequent urination may occur due to anxiety after coffee intake. Feeling of weakness and disorientation can occur due to combined effect of high blood pressure and anxiety.

For treatment, avoid coffee intake and monitor your blood pressure to rule out hypertension. Same time meet psychiatrist if you have stress or anxiety.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
