Caffeine-Related Health Problems. Caffeine increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure, and can contribute to the development of heart disease. Both decaf and regular coffee increase your cholesterol and homocysteine, the biochemicals that science has linked to increased risk for heart attack.
So people who have fast arrhythmias should avoid caffeine-containing foods. Caffeine can make symptoms such as palpitations stronger and more noticeable. Since caffeine is a stimulant, it speeds up your heart rate, making your heart beat even faster and making symptoms like chest pain or lightheadedness worse. In some cases, large amounts of caffeine can even trigger a new episode of an arrhythmia by irritating your heart's conduction system.
