I drank approx 2 oz of sugar free Red Bull and took one no doze so I didn't get tired working a 12 hour night shift. BIG MISTAKE!!! I had dry heeves and my heart rate was in the150's and my blood pressure was critical (188/110). My hands felt tingly. Thank God I worked at a hospital!! So I went to the ER and they did an ekg which showed some s-t depression (signs of ischemia) My electrolytes were abnormal also. That stuff should be banned in every country.

i drink red bull every day for the past 2 months. this news is ver y alarming but also questionable. id have to drink it then do a test prolly then i'll believe that it is dangerous. if it is so dangerous then why is it in like every store. and for idiots that drink 8 a day are really looking to end there life maybe they think its a better way to commit suicide? idk. but until i do that test i'll keep drinkin redbull. unlike the people who drink it i'll have wings! - rashid slater.
