A can of Coca Cola

Every morning I wake up with a tight chest and hard to breathe, despite being on assisted oxygen, due to fluid building up while sleeping, a can of coca cola will help eliminate it as caffeine is a natural diuretic, but for some reason the other cola soft drinks aren't as effective as coke and coffee, and I'm not a fan of coffee as it gives me palpatations.

@Punches Premade drinks that have it are transported in metal trailers going down the road, once their temperature hits 85F, they chemically convert to formaldehyde.

@NativePortlander1970 Jesus christ 😬

I kind of do not believe that because I do not think they would sell that but then I kind of DO believe it because it tastes weird. Energy drinks taste like bull p*ss and batttery acid. Yeah I drink them, kind of hooked.

@Punches When you look at the ingredient list of pretty much any prepared food or drink, they have chemicals in it that should never be ingested.

The problem with Coke is that it flushes important minerals and b-vitamins from your body, the phosphoric acid is what does it. I wonder if lemon juice and water would help flush the fluid as it is a very good diuretic as well.

@cherokeepatti I have tried lemon water, but it's not as effective as coke. I also have fluid pills I take when I'm out of coke, usually at the end of the month, but those run me ragged to where I feel dehydrated by the end of it, despite drinking a large glass of orange juice for the potassium, and the half gallon of gatorade I mix up for the salt and electrolytes.

Maybe you should be drinking some of those energy drinks or like 140 to 200 mg or even 300 mg of caffeine boom talk about zip it out!!

@Disgustedman Pretty much all of those energy drinks contain ginseng which I'm allergic to.
