Can energy drinks cause heart problems?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: Most energy drinks have heavy amounts of caffeine in them. In those who have a propensity to cardiac arrhythmias, high levels of caffeine can bring on these arrhythmias. However, caffeine in and of itself has not been shown to cause any heart damage as far as i know.
