Today I had one small cup of black Tim Hortons coffee. I then felt high for four hours. Could I be allergic?

This is a repeating theme with me. Anytime I have coffee- I feel dizzy and I can't focus on anything. I think I am literally "high". Also, I sweat from every pore of my body, including top of arms and legs. Dripping. I do not drink soda, but I do have dark chocolate occasionally and do not experience this effect. Whats amazing is the small amount of coffee that produces this effect. It was only about 8 ounces. What is going on? Can someone please help me figure this out? I still feel weird right now- it makes it very hard to write or study- I can't concentrate.

    It's perfectly normal. People who drink coffee every day are accustomed to this and they don't feel it. They become "desensitized".

    You are just very sensitive to caffeine and you get a real buzz. I get the same thing. I don't find it pleasant so I tend not to drink coffee.

    i'd stay away from it. I know when I drink coffee, my heart feels like it's beating faster and I feel hyper. I drink it only on occasion and when I do, it's not that much. I prefer tea.
