Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to palpitation after taking energy drink. Arrhythmias and cardiac ischaemia is possible if you take energy drink in excess. It can radiate to left shoulder or hand also. ECG while you having such discomfort will help to rule out that. It is better to avoid energy drinks or limit it. Taking a short course of beta blocker or anxiolytic will help to relieve the symptoms.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
