An scary observation!!

[BarBBar]

Back when I worked nights, I would start the night off with a Red Bull, have a Mountain Dew at lunch, then another Red Bull at about 4-5 am. I started having a heart arythmia and it scared the mess out of me. I immediately stopped drinking anything with caffeine in it, went cold turkey. That was in 2003 and I still don’t drink anything with caffeine in it. I don’t know how these people drink those energy drinks the way they do.

I used to love black tea. It really gave me an energy boost-until it gave me AFIB. Now, I try to avoid any caffeine since it can set it off. I keep my Kardia mobile handy. They are cheap.

Energy drinks, cigarettes, and weird workout supplements have the guys at the PD dropping out like crazy these days.

Had a 28 year old come in the morgue last year. He lived on energy drinks and workout supplements. Looked to be in shape. He heart was just under 1200 grams. The average heart is 3-400 for a male. Was there some underlying family heart issues? Yea, but those drinks and supplements did not help either. I see people mixing pre workout with Mountain dew and can only think of the heart rate they are getting.

So I have to step over some disease invested slug to get treatment.

I bet he puts his pants on one leg at a time just like you. Way to have compassion for your fellow man.
