Caffeine, high volume intake can cause the muscles to cramp or move erratically. This may lead to intolerable pain.

3. Heart Palpitations
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system. It speeds up the heart rate and can cause the heart to flutter or palpitate.
4. Diuresis
Caffeine increases the blood flow through the kidneys and dilates the blood vessels, making the kidneys produce more waste leading to frequent urination.
5. Gastrointestinal Disturbance
Caffeine increases the contraction in the small and large intestinal muscles causing predigested food to move into the intestine, triggering stomach cramps.
6. Stomach and Hydrochloric acid
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach, such as first thing in the morning, stimulates hydrochloric acid production. This can be a problem because HCl should only be produced to digest meals, leading to protein indigestion.
7. Acrylamide in Coffee
Acrylamide is a potentially carcinogenic substance that forms when coffee beans are roasted at high temperatures. The darker the roast, the higher the levels of acrylamide are likely to be.
