[|Human|] Hi. When eat really salty food or drink too much coffee in one day I get shortness of breath, my body becomes numb, and my eyes kind of black out. Is this at all normal? And for the 2nd time in my life I got a wave of numbness throughout my body today. It wasn t low blood sugar, because I ate what I normally eat in the mornings.
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be caused by anxiety and an excessive intake of coffee. I would like to explain that coffee contains caffeine, which induces an increase of catecholamines in the blood, causing cardiac and nervous system excitation. This would lead to high blood pressure, tachycardia and ectopic beats, anxiety and other autonomic nervous system symptoms (sweating, numbness, blurring vision, etc.).  I would recommend performing some tests like a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes and an ECG to exclude other causes of these symptoms. I would advise you to avoid Chat Doctor.  Hope to have been of help! Greetings!
