Can Energy Drinks Lead To Extreme Pain In Chest And Stomach?
I am 20 years old and weigh approximately 140 lbs. I am having extreme pain in the left side of my chest and the upper left hand side of my stomach. At times it is bareable at others i cant seven stand up straight. I had a monster energy drink earlier today. But other than that all ive had to drink today is water. Is this something i should visit a doctor about? Or is it due to the monster? Ive had energy drinks before and not had this pain afterwards.

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
Monster energy drink has large amount caffeine, quite higher than recommended limit. What you are experiencing is a side effect of Caffeinated drinks. Regular use of energy drink should be avoided.
Since other than energy drink you had only water, it has affected you more with acid formed in the stomach.
I suggest you to eat something and take rest. If you start getting palpitation, dizziness or nausea, then consult a local doctor.
There is a incidence of death after consuming two cans of Monster drink within 24 hours due to caffeine overdose.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
