Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that Lucozade may have some effects on heart rhythm considering it contains an amount of caffeine.
Nevertheless, its potential adverse effect could be supposed in case a large consumed quantity of Lucosade.
Lucozade may be considered as a triggering factor in certain susceptible individuals.
Coming to this point, I would recommend discussing with your doctor for a careful medical exam including a careful physical exam and additional medical tests:
- complete blood count,
- cardiac ultrasound,
- thyroid hormones level,
- blood electrolytes level,
- liver and renal function tests,
- fasting blood glucose level
In addition, it would be wise to avoid potential triggering factors such as caffeinated and alcoholic drinks, control your blood pressure values and follow a healthy diet and life-style.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any further questions, feel free to ask me again.
Kind regards,
