Question 1

why when i drink energy drinks even if its just one does my arm feel really heavy and ache and my hand and fingers tingle? also with my leg and foot

Accepted Answer

Energy drinks: So-called energy drinks are loaded with caffeine. That is what gives you the "buzz" from the drink. You have to be careful not to drink too much because it is also a cardiac stimulant and can up your BP.

Question 2

ate raw fish may 12, that night had fever, head/body aches, low energy for next 2 days. feeling better today but still cant eat & numbness in hands ?

Accepted Answer

Time: If you are getting better, give it time. Stay hydrated. You may wish to take an electrolyte drink like Gatorade. If the symptoms do not resolve fully in a day or two, it would be prudent to see your doctor.

Question 3

numbness in hands, tingling in lower half of body, weakness of the limbs, loss of balance, decreased energy, and stiff muscles? it's not anxiety!

Accepted Answer

Consult Neurologist: Anxiety can have many symptoms, however muscle weakness and stiffness does not seem to be symptoms commonly related to anxiety disorders. Tingling, numbness and loss of balance could beproblems related to many neurological conditions, or side effects of medications/substances.  A neurologist should be able to rule out any other issues that could be causing these symptoms.

i need opinions on my heart. ive never felt this fluttery sensation or my heart pounding. it feels weird and im only 18. its been going on for a few days and i dont know why. this hasnt happened until i drinked the energy drink a few days ago ?

Accepted Answer

Energy drinks: These contain stimulants which is usually in the form of caffeine which some people are very sensitive to. This can cause fluttering in the chest due to extra heart beats or slightly more rapid  heart rate than normal. This is likely what you are feeling and not dangerous, but if you have any associated light headedness or fatigue or dizziness, you should be evaluated. For now, avoid these drinks.

Question 10
