But you're lucky, relatively speaking. If you were shot in the heart, your blood pressure would quickly drop, but it would take 10 to 15 seconds to lose brain function. In that time you could draw your gun, utter last words, or spend some time thinking about your unfortunate situation.
Caffeine can cause indigestion, which in turn may lead to heart palpitations. However, arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) can also cause palpitations, and this condition is more of a concern. Seek medical attention if your palpitations last longer than two or three minutes.
Indigestion can be caused by acid reflux, which can happen if you have a condition known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This is when your stomach acids (which digest your food) leak back into your oesophagus (the pipe that goes from your mouth to your stomach).herefore, itâs not recommended that you take antacids at the same time as other medicines. Indigestion medicines can also interfere with the action of other medicines. For example, some proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, can enhance the effects of medicines used to thin the blood, such as warfarin.
