BUT.
A few hours later, I had a hankerin' (and gave in to it)....
............for a cup of tea. 
I am not good at this. I am a bad patient.
But you know what. The half-caf didn't seem to hurt me, but I had it when I had some sx active... first awake, soon after eating lunch and dinner, so hard to say if it contributed or not. I had the full-caf when I was symptom free, and nothing happened, no symptoms. I even tried inhaling forcefully to test if I had the mild chest pain. Nope! Zero, zip, zilch, nada, nuttin man!
The tea effect was obfuscated by my brushing my teeth right after, which always causes a lot of throat-clearing. I'll just have to have another cup of tea another time and see.

When I brush my teeth,I sometimes end up coughing,and if it gets bad enough It sometimes sets off the gagging reflex,which causes my sinuses to drain in the back of my throat for a hour,or two. If this happens I end up perspiring.
I feel like I'm the only person in the world that it happens to. I have to wait until the right time to brush,and floss my teeth before bed,or I won't be able to sleep afterwards. If I brush,and floss my teeth without a reaction,my throat is better off for a period of time.
I've never heard of anyone having this kind of problem that I just wrote down. It's been better recently because I've slowed my life down. I think that it's a combination of things.
Sorry for getting off the topic. My throat is very sensitive. BF
