I love coffee, the smell, taste, buzz, everything. Recently, not sure why, after I drink coffee I have been getting mild anxiety symptoms. Pounding heart, chest tightness, etc. Ive researched it and there is a TON of info on caffeine's effect on the body/adrenals. Has anyone experienced negative side effects from coffee/caffeine?

Coffee can lead to a feeling of being jittery and an increased heart rate. It's possible to drink coffee and not have any of these experiences.
Perhaps you're a carrier of the paleolithic slow CYP1A2 allele with a C or two at rs762551? (I've got a copy, myself.)
I have not researched it nor do I have any sort of personal story that relates, however I have read before that if anyone has sensitive cortisol production to stimulants, that caffeine can perhaps cause some disruption and enhance the effects of cortisol which is a stress-associated hormone.
Not sure if this helps, but figured i'd throw it out there.
