Russian Woman Hospitalized in Minsk Due to Severe Overdose of Energy Drinks
The girl drank two cans of the drink every day until she developed severe arrhythmia.
According to data from SHOT, 25-year-old Alexandra from Perm came to Belarus with her husband for a vacation.
Before this, the girl regularly drank two large cans of energy drink every day and considered it normal.
However, in Minsk, she decided to take a break, but relapsed a day before her flight. Her heart couldn't handle it, and literally a few hours after two cans, her blood pressure sharply dropped to a critical 85/55.
An ambulance was called, which recorded a pulse of 210 beats per minute and a sustained drop in blood pressure.
Medics urgently inserted a catheter and gave an injection. The tourist's breathing normalized, and her condition stabilized, but not for long. The next morning, as the couple was preparing to go home, her heart seized up again.
Alexandra was taken to the hospital. Doctors diagnosed supraventricular arrhythmia and arrhythmogenic shock. A pulse of 210 beats per minute means that her heart was beating ineffectively and stopped pumping blood to organs. This could have led to brain hypoxia, loss of consciousness, and even fibrillation — effectively, cardiac arrest. After discharge, the girl was referred for further examination back in Russia.
