Have you ever noticed that after a few sips of coffee, you're bouncing off the walls, while your friends are seemingly unaffected? If that sounds like you, you might have a caffeine sensitivity and if you do, drinking that morning coffee could be more troublesome than you think.

Caffeine sensitivity can be caused by your genetic makeup or may be prompted by external factors like a new medication, as Healthline explains. And as you might expect, the symptoms of caffeine sensitivity are, well, feeling very caffeinated, with anxiety, a faster heartbeat, headaches, and restlessness occurring after just a few sips of coffee.

While caffeine sensitivity can often be confused with a caffeine allergy, they're entirely different conditions, with caffeine allergies prompting a response similar to that of other allergies (like hives or irritated skin). If you have caffeine sensitivity, by far the wisest thing to do is to limit your caffeine intake or remove it from your diet entirely. Some people may find that they're able to drink a smaller amount of caffeine without negative consequences. Interestingly, the opposite can also be true: caffeine hyposensitivity affects around one in ten people, and those people can drink way more coffee without feeling any significant effect, according to a study published in Human Molecular Genetics.
