Effects of Caffeine

Lifelong caffeine addict here! Of course getting pregnant motivated me to curb my habit, which I did cold turkey. Now I have it on occasion as a treat - usually iced tea or a Coke. Well... Today I was just really wanting coffee and so I had some. And BAM! Heart was racing! Skip to a few hours later and I was getting terribly dizzy (presumably from my blood vessels opening back up). Isn't it wild how something that would have never affected you before can throw you off while pregnant?! What affects you now that never would have before?
