Caffeine Can Cause ENT Problems

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.
