Barrista who can't have coffee

I've been a barrista since 2020 and have slowly realised that I have bad reactions after drinking coffee and not eating something sugary afterwards of just before. I can't even handle a single shot.

I rely on drinking coffee in my early mornings, and some days, I won't have time to have something sugary and just have to hope that I dont react. I am mainly wondering if anyone else has the same problems and might know what is causing it.

My symptoms are similar to caffeine overdoseing were my heartbeats are sronger and faster, anxiety is peeked, my head is all over the place, I either space out a ton or can't stop focusing on one thing to the point a cant function effectively which affects my work and i get very shaky. They very on severity depending on how many shots i have had.
