Chest pains since excessive intake of vodka, red bull. History of anxiety. Emergency?
My son has a small history of anxiety .. Went out the other night and drank REd Bull and vodka all night- since yesteray, he has been experiencing chest pains. He keep saying it s panic attacks, but, I think that it is from the RED BULL and Vodka and that his body has had too much caffeine. We have an appointment tomorrow with the doctor- but told him we really should go today. I ve read that some young adults can go into a heart attack . Would it take as long as 48 to 72 hours to get the red bull out of his system?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Thank you for your query.
Excessive red bull intake has reportedly caused cardiovascular symptoms like: palpitation, tachycardia, chest tightness, breathlessness, etc. If your son has been experiencing chest pain, it is best you take him to visit a doctor at the earliest. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
Expulsion of caffeine from the body takes 6-24 hours in an individual. Although there are many factors that can influence this duration.
I hope I have succeeded in answering your questions, you could write back to me anytime for further clarifications.
Best wishes.
