An energy drink is a type of drink containing stimulant compounds, usually caffeine, which is marketed as providing mental and physical stimulation.

Irregular heartbeat

Irregular heartbeat is a common concern for regular energy drink consumers and general caffeine consumers alike. So if you are choosing an energy drink with excessive amounts of this stimulant, you may notice your heart beating in a way that you are not used to.

Difficulty falling asleep

Those who drink energy drinks may have difficulty falling asleep. And not sleeping well can cause a person to feel sluggish the next day, leading them to seek a solution for their lack of energy. Enter an energy drink, which can cause sleeplessness—wash, rinse, and repeat. Consuming energy drinks is linked to increased nervousness. If you are generally a more anxious person, regularly drinking these beverages may not be the best match for you.

Tendency to partake unhealthy behaviour

It is becoming more commonplace for people to combine energy drinks with other less-healthful substances, whether it is alcohol, cannabis, or tobacco. Some may even call it a “gateway drink”. So, if you are regularly drinking energy drinks, it appears that the chances of partaking in other unhealthy behaviors are increased as well

Increases blood pressure

Drinking energy drinks can increase systolic blood pressure within a brief period of time after drinking. If you are trying to manage your blood pressure in a healthy way, energy drinks are not the best beverage to include in your diet for this reason.
