Summary
A Reddit user on an ME/CFS forum said caffeine made their heart race and gave no benefits. After they started beta blockers, caffeine no longer had that effect, with 'no real effect like before'. They did not say how long they had been ill, how severe their ME/CFS was, or how they were doing overall.
