Random I know... but lately for the passed couple of days I have noticed my heart has been hurting. I'm not nessacarily doing anything exhausting, but it just hurts. The only thing I can think of is its the energy drinks I drink. I drink Monster Energy drinks quite often and have recently moved up to the bigger 24oz can. Has anyone done research or heard anything about the effect energy drinks has? I've been drinking Monster going on 2 years atleast twicea week, sometime more than twice a day. I know there's nothing I can do about it now except stop drinking them, I'm just wondering what some of you have researched about energy drinks.
One of my fraternity brothers used to drink like 4 a day. He developed heartbeat irregularities and was awake for like 4 days straight at one point. He nearly had to go to the ER. While you're not in that bad of shape yet, best to stop now. They're SO bad for you. Nothing but caffeine and sugar. My body yells at me everytime I drink one. If you're not feeling pains like all through your chest then your heart itself is probably fine. You're probably feeling back related muscle pains. I get the same thing sometimes from having a bad golf swing and mediocre posture. lol I say start drinking a lot of water and nix the energy drinks, just in general. You'll feel a lot better and a lot more alert. And you won't believe this, but V8 (yeah the tomato juice) is the best "energy drink" I've ever encountered. Makes me feel like I just took a nice hot shower, and it has tons of vitamins and minerals in it. And I'm weird...I like it. Its tasty. lol. CN: You're probably not dying but energy drinks ftmfl
I get the same thing and I believe it is only normal and not related to your energy drinks that you are having. If the pain is not constant or passes in matter of minutes, I wouldn't be worried about it unless your arms and part of chest start to get numb. Take a few deep breath to see if it helps. let me say that V8 veggie juice is the most disgusting drink I've ever had and yet I chug one about everyday to every other day just for the vitmain and minerals that are supposed to be in it. (by god if one day a study shows it is bunch of BS, I'm going to kick someone in the balls)
Thanks guys, I felt kinda dumb posting this thread but thank you guys for your input. I will check into V8, isn't there a fruit based one? I remember seeing it advertised a couple of years ago.
Yeah, its called fusion or something. I think it tastes like balls. The OG stuff is better. and :rofl: blindfold.
Dude srsly you do drink a shit ton of energy drinks. Those things are no good for you a couple of weeks ago I was working a lot so I decided to start drink Monsters like one a day. Lets just say that was one of the worst weeks of my life my heart was constantly racing, I couldn't sleep when I really want to, my hands were shaking etc. No to mention I recently heard of a manager that I know of past away doctors point the cause of his death to partially in due to his addiction to Red Bulls needless to say I stop drinking them.....
Yeah, I'd kick the Monsters and see if it goes away... As for the V8 Fusion, does it really taste bad? I've really been wanting to try one lately... fruit & veggies and it tastes good? I knew it was too good to be true. Then again, if I can get used to drinking gross protein drinks every day, I'd bet that Fusion wouldn't be too bad...
V8 Fusion does not taste bad. There are many different varieties and flavors. Energy drinks FTL. they did the same thing to me. irregular heartbeat. I stopped drinking them a few weeks ago and now I'm fine. every once in a while (really while I'm at an auto-x), I'll drink a Red Bull sugar free. The red bull girls ( I <3 them so ) always stop by and give out free red bull. That's the only time I'll drink any type of energy drink now. also, V8 Hot&Spicy FTW!
I drink a sugar free redbull on very rare occasions... Yea and never hurts to go to the Dr!!! As long as you have health insurance it doesn't..lol
I have had chest pains since 2001. I went to get it checked out many times. I have had blood, EKGs, XRays and treadmill tests. No heart problems. I had major elevated cholesterol and liver function tests that were also high, but I was able to drop those levels to normal within a couple of months (without using meds). I still have the pain in my chest. I am guessing it is normal.
RED BALLZ is da shit~! you break outta jail and shit.... srsly y you drink that stuff man. its not like it tastes good..
I used to drink NOS or Crunk quite a bit But I only do it every once in a while now when absolutely needed ( I think Its stronger than monstr or redbull for me anyway) but the nasty tastin V8 in the morn helps and better for ya.take in the morn and get it out the way. the fusion tastes waaaay better than the reg V8 drink. funny u say cocaine...a good shot... liquid cocaine =151 rum,rumpplemintz,Jagermister :beer:my shot of choice lately
