I don't know about blood clots, but I have this experience with caffeine:
I (41) used to drink one cup of coffee-with-milk every day. My nose always used to get blocked during the night, which I never thought could be due to coffee.
Anyway, I had cough and sore throat sometime back and I stopped drinking coffee for a week and immediately noticed that my nose didn't get blocked during the night. I stopped drinking coffee from then on and my nose doesn't get blocked in the night anymore.
Doctors didn't do shit every-time I approached them. I finally found the fix myself.
Just sharing, causing it may help someone.
I'm thinking the milk was more of the problem- dairy causes those exact symptoms in those that are mildly allergic
A lot of people don't know that allergic reactions can present as things like this for sure. People almost always jump to anaphylaxis, but even mild lactose intolerance can present as symptoms like that or a simple and short stomach ache etc.
Yes, and there's also the fact caffeine is a diuretic and can cause dehydration if you don't drink additional water to compensate.
Combine that with excess mucus likely created due to the reaction to dairy and you've got a runny nose that's no longer as runny but nasal passages that are just as clogged.
That sounds like a low-grade allergy, but the time between coffee (assuming morning) and bed time kinda stretches that explanation to its limits.
What did you take for the cough and sore throat?
I should try coffee without milk and check the results. Will do sometime in future.
For cough and sore throat, I just had lemon-and-honey with hot water in the mornings. Sore throat had gone away in two days, but mild cough stayed for a week and went away.
Honey is topically antimicrobial, it may have helped cure you of what was causing a sinus problem.
