Caffeine? What problems has it caused you?

How are you all doing?! I'm a 31 year old law enforcement officer. I've worked years of nights and drink quite a bit of caffeine. Its an addiction I get made fun of. Even by other first responders. If you know first responders, you know they can chug some coffee.

I've noticed in recent years, I've developed some serious silent reflux, acid reflux, brain fog, nasal, and ear issues. In the last couple of weeks, my main symptoms are seriously tight neck and shoulder muscles with pain and muscular knots. Its only one side of my neck primarily. I've always had caffeine flowing through my veins.

The other day, I was told that maybe my issues were caused by caffeine. anybody have similar issues as a result of caffeine? How did things turn out after you quit?
