After reading an
interesting article in Forbes that described caffeine as a natural
pesticide (for real!), I thought I would pipe in and report the types of problems caffeine can cause in humans from an ENT perpective...
Caffiene can contribute to (some proven, some suspected, some debatable):
•
Tinnitus
• Meniere's Disease
•
Migraine Headaches
•
Headaches
•
Dizziness
•
Reflux
•
Lump in Throat Sensation (Globus)
•
Chronic throat clearing
• Dry throat
•
Phlegmy throat
Alcohol and salt are other big as well as under-recognized items that may cause similar ENT issues.
