I know green tea is crazy good for you, and I've been drinking it pretty frequently since I gave up soda and energy drinks almost 5 months ago. The actual tea from tea bags is no problem for me, and I've never had any sensitivity to caffeine nor have I ever had any heart related issues either (my last cholesterol test was 165 and BP is normal).
I bought green tea pills a few years ago, and within a day or two of starting them, at times it would feel like my heart was beating so hard (not fast, but hard), I almost took myself to the hospital. I mean, each beat felt like a really hard "thump" in my chest. It was scary. The only thing different in my diet/routine after the issue started was the pills. So I stopped taking them, and shortly after the symptoms subsided.
Anyway, few months back I tried the pills again just because the benefits of green tea are so well documented and I figured my first experience may have been a fluke. Sure enough, the exact same symptoms arose. Obviously I immediately stopped taking them, and yet again the symptoms stopped. Strange, especially considering I can drink the tea daily with no issue. Huh.
