Hi... This past weekend I took some energy pills which caused my heart rate to go up extremely high and I had to go to the er... Long story short ever since then I still am having sharp chest pains, dizziness and headaches... Do you know what that may be??
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases for your symptoms. So get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Some energy pills do contain steroids. And these steroids can cause similar kind of side effects. So if your cardiac work up is normal then stop these energy pills, you will mostly improve with all symptoms. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
