Is it normal that caffeine makes me sleepy, but still increases my heart rate?

Before anything, I have ADHD, so I’m aware of the whole thing with that and how we can sometimes have a paradoxical reaction to caffeine.

But I usually don’t get increased heart rate with it until now. I’m drinking V8 Energy to calm down from being widely awake at 3am.

    You may have tachycardia, caffeine is one of the stuffs that triggers it.

    me too . it fucks with my blood pressure making it skyrocket with tachycardia. then be damned if satisfying the craving doesn't put me to sleep in the mornings . just give it up , for some like me caffeine is more of a hormone.
