Throbbing Constant Pain In Left Arm After Drinking Amp Energy Drink. Overweight, Smoker, Sedinary Lifestyle. Advice

Hello,

Today I drank an Amp energy drink (second one in two days. I don't usually drink caffeinated drinks) and I've been experiencing pain in my left arm ever since. It's now been about 12 hours since I ingested the drink. The intensity of the pain wavers but it has been at least a dull throbbing persistently all day. I should also mention I am overweight, smoke cigarettes and live an unfortunately sedintary lifestyle. Any advice you have to offer is genuinely appreciated.

Regards.

Hi,this is Dr Nanda ,knock knock,this is your wake up call,is your energy drink given you intended energy? I doubt,then why have it ? as a lifestyle consultant I would advice you to go through a self analysis , according to me sooner or the later one has to realise life is precious and our body is the vehicle carrying it.You need to treat your body with utmost love, respect and care, treat it like a temple .Many of this drinks create lot of digestive disturbances which almost mimic cardiovascular symptoms . you need to be careful and get timely attention.
Suggetions;1)Be cautious what you put in your mouth,if it is spoiling your tomorrow rather not let it in .This even reffers to smoking.
2)Feel the pleasure of being light on your feet,that will motivate to pick up your jogging tracks.
3)Life is beautiful,it is your choice to enjoy it healthily ,make your choice right now ,earlier the better .All the best
