Sick & elevated hr + caffeine

Hey yall so about 2 months ago I upped to 300mg which also increased my resting heart rate a decent amount. However working out/walking increases normally from the new starting point .

That being said I don’t have much caffeine anymore if I do it’s a coffee. But I am really sick right now and have a crazy week for school (my finals week basically) and I cannot sit up and be on a computer for long right now.

Do we think if I “self medicated” caffeine it’d be fine so that I can get through the week. Like 2-3 days of 1 coffee/soda and 1 energy drink.

If that seems like a bad idea with the elevated heart rate let me know, I’m not sure what else to do.
