For many people, a cup of coffee is the perfect way to start the day. It boosts alertness, improves focus, and provides a quick energy lift. However, for some individuals, coffee can also bring unwanted side effects such as nervousness, a racing heart, shakiness, and feelings that closely resemble anxiety.
Many women experience moments where they suddenly forget what they were about to say, struggle to focus during conversations or feel mentally exhausted even after small tasks. While these symptoms are often dismissed as stress or lack of sleep, experts say hormonal changes linked to PMS and perimenopause may play a much bigger role than most people realise.
