Excessive consumption of energy drinks can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. This is evidenced by a study by the Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, writes the British Express.

The drink is considered dangerous due to the high concentration of caffeine, which is obtained from a plant called guarana. It contains a double dose of a stimulant.

At the same time, the risk of heart muscle collapse increases when a consumer mixes energy drinks with alcohol, doctors said.

According to researchers, cardiac arrest can occur due to a strong arrhythmia - a pathology that disrupts the frequency, rhythm and sequence of its work. With an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast or too slow. If an arrhythmia has already occurred, then the person needs to restore the heart rhythm to prevent the risk of death.

It has previously been reported that middle-aged men with increased anxiety may be at increased risk for heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. According to the authors of the study, neuroticism is a character trait that causes people to interpret situations as threatening and worthy of concern. It may be appropriate when it leads us to constructive solutions. However, anxiety can also be unhealthy, especially when it becomes uncontrollable and interferes with daily activities.
