Q: I experienced the more severe symptoms of acid reflux. the symptoms associated with angina and congestive heart failure. Is it ok for caffeine to be part of my diet?
This is an answer that only your doctor can give you. Caffeine triggers reflux in many people and can also cause heart rhythm abnormalities. Your doctor will know your entire medical and medication history and will be best able to answer you. You can also ask if it's okay to have some caffeine. Your doctor may be able to give you an amount that is acceptable each day.
Best of luck - Stephanie
