The Brockporter Health Care Sunday - When drinking energy drinks leads to the emergency room

From The Week 02/08/13:

The number of people admitted to emergency rooms after drinking energy drinks has skyrocketed in recent years. A new federal report shows that in 2011, more than 20,000 people were admitted to the ER with anxiety, rapid heartbeat, seizures, or heart attacks seemingly caused by downing the drinks—more than twice the number from four years earlier. The Federal Drug Administration is also investigating 18 deaths possibly tied to the highly caffeinated beverages. Most patients who seek help after consuming the drinks—which include Monster, Red Bull, and Rockstar—are children and teens.
