In case of arrhythmia, unstable angina and other diseases of the heart and blood vessels, it is dangerous to consume drinks with caffeine.
Cardiologist Iosif Shubitidze warned about this.
In a conversation with Gazeta.Ru , a specialist explained in what cases it is dangerous to drink coffee.
Who shouldn't drink coffee
According to Shubitidze, no more than 200 milligrams of caffeine at a time or 300-500 milligrams per day is considered harmless.
However, in some cases, consuming caffeine is undesirable and even dangerous.

Caffeine, the doctor explained, increases blood pressure and increases heart rate.

Caffeine can affect fetal development. Doctors generally recommend consuming no more than 200 milligrams of caffeine per day (one cup of coffee).
