No coffee for a week

I've been getting irregular heartbeats. Just sitting there at my office desk, i can feel beneath my chest a percussion ensemble playing to some quirky rhythm.

And all of a sudden, i was very scared that the beats would suddenly stop, my breathing stops and I just collapse at my table and die without having kissed goodbye to my loved ones. And the first person who sees me collapse has to be Geraldine of all people.

What they call arrhythmia or irregular heartbeats could be the result of excessive coffee drinking that leads to abnormal cardiovascular activity such as as increased heart rate. A more severe case could be palpitation which is the awareness of one’s heartbeat, which may be due to fast or irregular or even normal heartbeat.

I do not know the exact cause of this but I swear it's got something to do with my 2- or 3-cups-a-day. It's funny each time something bad happens we just have the amazing ability to find something immediately to fill the cause.

And so it is....my irregular heartbeats as a result of my compulsive coffee-drinking. I'm gonna make it an effort to abstain from it for a week. Hopefully, i don't get side effects like bad headaches.

Pick-pok...pick-pok...pick-pok......this is what i wanna hear...not pick-pick-pok or pick-pok-pick or pick.......................................pok.................................pickpokpickpokpickpokpickpokpickpok.
