Coffee, Anyone?!

I drink coffee sometimes. If I feel really groggy when I wake up or if my lungs feel tight a cup seems to relax the tightness and I can breathe better. If I drink more than two cups at a time it seems to make me jittery and lite headed if I do that for more than 2 days in a row.

I scanned the other comments but didn't see where anyone mentioned the chemical in coffee.

Since I didn't see it, I will mention it. Its called "Theophylline." And yes it is a bronchodialator (sp). There are small amounts in tea as well, at least so I've heard.

I started drinking coffee to help my insomnia - to wake up for work that morning after a night of constant tossing and turning. I got the insomnia solved, but now am addicted to my coffee.

At first I did notice it helped open my lungs, but not so much any more. Although with that said, my lungs are worse overall than when I first began drinking coffee.

I was up to a half a pot of coffee a day (6 cups)...but I have cut that in half because it was so dehydrating. In fact now, I notice how dry my hands are if I drink more than the norm in one day.

I too have two coffee makers, a coffee grinder, too-numerous-to-count coffee cups, and only drink Starbucks (btw, they have TWICE the caffiene of other coffees (wink). )

Best wishes with your addiction....<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

i remember doing research a while back and coming up with a theory that smokers drink coffee to help their lungs feel better.

i myself have been a coffee drinker for a long time. (12 years) i've never especially noticed it helping my lungs. these days, i drink decaf about half the time; i've also limited myself to about one caffeinated drink per day so i can stay hydrated more easily.
