Caffeine can affect your heart. Some people are more sensitive to it than others. My suggestion is to slowly stop drinking anything with caffeine. A friend of mine had heart problems but would not stop drinking drinks with caffeine and ended up dead due to an erratic heart rhythm. He would drink a pot of coffee in the morning and a six pack of coke in the afternoon. He would call his six pack a way to come down from the morning's coffee. Was it the caffeine? We will never know but I'm sure it did not help?

Lastly, ALWAYS consult your doctor before you change anything. They understand your situation and will be able to give you the best advice vs random people on the internet (me included).

Honestly the six pack of coke seems way more problematic to me than the coffee although a pot seems very excessive. But I'm not sure this a very scathing indictment of coffee given the other habits
