- High caffeine levels can cause severe aggitation, focus problems (eyes), short
- term memory problems, increased BP and respiration and, most importantly, heart
- palpitations.
-
- Caffeine is also a powerful diuretic. This means that, in addition to the wet
- suit heating, you will need to worry about evidence that dehydration increases
- your chances of a DCS hit.
-
- I don't know the problems associated with a long term caffeine binge.
