Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
Coffee, diet coke and energy booster all have caffeine in it and it could have been an overdose of caffeine. It could possibly be the culprit. Tachycardia or increased heart rate, flushing of face both are common side effects of excess caffeine. My suggestion will be to avoid too much caffeine.
Also considering your age and to rule out any cardiac cause of increased heart rate, and also to get checked for other symptoms of excess caffeine, I would suggest you to visit ER and get a clinical examination done. Also get an ECG done.
Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
