Q: Does Drinking Coffee Cause "pangs"/sharp Pains In

I stayed away from coffee for over 15 years. About 3 months ago, I started drinking it again. I've noticed occasional sharp pains in both my breasts. Had a mammogram done; went to the Dr.; everything's fine, thanks to god.

My gyno said I should take ~400 iu of vit. E. I average only about 2 cups of coffee a day! Are my symptoms common, i.E., drinking coffee=pains in breasts? What do you think?

Actually, yes there is a link between caffeine and breast pains in some women. If you ever complain to your gyno about breast pains, the first thing he/she would recommend is likely to cut caffeine out of your diet. (whether it be from coffee, soda pop, chocolate, or other.)

clinically studies are on both sides of the fence. Some studies have proven a direct link between caffeine and breast pains, others are inconclusive. However, approximately 80 percent of women with breast pains get better with the avoidance of caffeine in their diet.

So you can continue drinking your coffee... Just make it decaf. :)
