If you are also thinking of drinking an energy drink before a workout, then this news may alert you. A 20-year-old woman in America suffered a cardiac arrest (Heart Attack) just minutes after drinking an energy drink. According to reports, this incident happened in November 2024, when a woman named Jazmin Garza consumed a famous energy drink before weightlifting with her boyfriend. But shortly after, she faced a serious problem.

As soon as Jazmin started weightlifting, she suddenly fell on the floor and her body started shaking. Her nose started bleeding and within a few seconds her pulse also stopped. Jazmin's boyfriend immediately started giving her CPR and called the medical team. The team of doctors reached the spot and gave CPR and after several minutes of effort, her heartbeat could be brought back.

According to doctors, during the cardiac arrest, the condition of Jazmin's lungs and heart had deteriorated. Apart from this, her kidneys and stomach had also stopped working. However, timely treatment saved her life.

Why is it dangerous to drink energy drinks before a workout?

Although doctors did not find a direct link between energy drinks and cardiac arrest in Jazmin's case, many studies suggest that these drinks can have a bad effect on heart health. According to a research published in the Anatolian Journal of Cardiology in 2017, energy drinks contain high amounts of caffeine, sugar and other stimulants, which can put extra pressure on the heart.

Risks of energy drinks

* Increases heart rate and blood pressure. Energy drinks contain 150-300 milligrams of caffeine, which can speed up the heart rate and increase blood pressure.

* These drinks can constrict the veins, which prevents oxygen from reaching the heart and increases the risk of heart attack.

* Caffeine can increase dehydration, which thickens the blood and increases the risk of stroke and heart attack.
