TK--- A lot of tea has as much caffeine as coffee so yes it could imo. caffeine is very hard on the adrenals as it forces them to work even when they are exhausted, further damaging them - this can cause a lot of different problems/side effects. > > Regards, > > Finkle > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Green tea is one of the things that people take to use up excess cortisol. So maybe it depletes it if you are already too low. Gail.

" A question: assuming that my chest tightness symptom is related toadrenal issues, would drinking tea worsen it? " Green tea, after using it several times daily for a few days, gave me angina. Repeating the experiment reproduced this effect. I have to question if this was due to adrenal fatigue, because 1)for people as caffeine sensitive as myself, chronic exposure to even small doses exacerbate adrenal fatigue, and 2)the increase in synaptic catecholamines, adenosine antagonism, etc. (an alternative explanation) are partially compensated for by the presence of theanine. Additionally, I had just begun a short course of alprazolam which antagonizes caffeine's stimulatory effects.
