I typically don't drink soda, but I had a Pepsi yesterday.

I doubt I'm supposed to have much caffeine. My heart doc has never told me I shouldn't have it but the docs at the hospital that I was admitted to last May told me I shouldn't have any. So I'm confused. I thought I was getting better because my heart doc scheduled me 3 months out from my last appt and hasn't requested any restrictions. He did tell me to make sure I drink 8 glasses of water every day. He didn't tell me why so when I started getting dehydrated, I remembered what he said and figured it out for myself. I wish he would have been more clear though. I didn't know. I started googling my symptoms and found out for myself. I did quit caffeine for the better part of a year. Then I went back but cut back. I have a 12 oz cup of coffee every morning and a cup of tea every afternoon. If I didn't, I'd feel dead.
