Coffee is not unhealthy. Why would a doctor be asking a patient about coffee consumption? Doctors ask about cigarettes and ALCOHOL.
Caffeine can have all kind of interactions with other drugs.
Which one? That’s interesting.

Dammmnnnn , I was unaware.
“There are 114 drugs known to interact withcaffeine, along with 9 disease interactions, and 5 alcohol/food interactions. Of the total drug interactions, 5 are major, 94 are moderate, and 15 are minor.”
And my brain read it in a German speaking English accent.
Wasn’t there that woman who died because Panera Bread didn’t label their decaf lemonade (??) appropriately?
Edit: yes obviously she had some existing condition…
a very rare heart condition (long q-t)
Caffeine is bad for your sleep, especially when drunk too late or too much.
It has no effect on me in that regard.
That's exactly why I drink it, to not fall asleep
Coffee is unhealthy at the volume I drink it
My cardiologist would also like to know.
However mostly only excessive like a few cups or more per day.
Caffeine jacks up my muscle tone so the shoulders are cranked all kinds of ways. Afaik it also raises blood pressure, and is a diuretic.
It's very slightly diuretic, but that effect is overshadowed by the fact that it's 99% water. Coffee actually hydrates you.
That doesn't matter if the doctor is trying to calculate some medicine dosage.
