How Fearless Energy Drink Almost Sent Me To My Ancestors by anykey: 10:55pm On Sep 15, 2020 |
On the 8th of September, at exactly 1pm, i left my desk to go for the company's stipulated "lunch break". I dragged my feet down the stairs, i had not even decided what to eat, i just had to leave my desk for the sake of my small intestines. After downing a plate of semo, it did not feel right. I still wanted more, i asked for extra. But, yet i was still feeling drained. Just then, my ever wandering eyes sighted packs of carbonated drinks, stacked behind the standing fan. But what stood out from the colony was the brown looking plastic "fearless". I thought to myself, exactly what i needed! I have never taken any kind of energy drinks prior to this, so i really needed to know how it tastes and also, how effective it could be. As a proud gourmand, i savored every syrup-ed tasting liquid as each drop bounces on my tongue and slithers down my throat. As soon as the last wave slid down my throat, i raised the bottle for no particular reason, but something written on the plastic caught my attention. "This drink contains high caffeine". At that point, i knew i was roasted. I got back to the office and resumed my duties. I did not notice anything, i even forgot i took an energy drink. Work closed for the day, and i had to trek a bit because there was traffic jam all the way from mushin to somewhere i could not see. So, i joined other pedestrians to trek. When i got to daleko, i decided to climb the bridge. As i was ascending, i could feel my pulse rising. I mean every pulse points in my body. I ignored and continued johnny walking. As soon as i got to the centre of the bridge, which also happens to be highest point, i became dizzy. Then i fell and blacked out. This is a bridge that does not have railings o! I was literally drifting in and out of consciousness for twenty minutes, till i became stable. I had become very sensitive at this point, i could hear my heartbeats and they were not normal, like it was skipping beats. A good samaritan stayed by me calling for help, when none came, he pulled me up, held me close and guided me till i got down from the bridge, at this point i felt better. So he bought me fruits, but i could not swallow because my oesophagus has contracted, so i had to spit it out. It was until i got liquid milk, sip a little and let it dissolve with my spittle, then swallow before i got better. Even at that, i felt the effect 5 days after. But it was not as severe as the first day's. Many persons were not as lucky as me. So many sudden deaths that might have been avoidable. Please, control what goes into your stomach, energy drink is not your regular coke and bigi. 4 Likes |

You're probably allergic to caffeine. Normally it would raise your blood pressure a bit, but that Fearless drink doesn't have so much caffeine to trigger such an effect compared to Monster Energy or even a regular cup of black coffee. My advice to you is to stay off caffeinated drinks including coffee. It's likely that you have a blood pressure or heart issue, but I'll leave that to the doctors. Better go for a test quick. 2 Likes |

I don't believe this due to the many lawsuits these companies protect themselves from before starting business. If true then visit a doctor. Most West Africans have underlying heart issues. Sport men from our region drop dead on the field so I can't imagine the percentage of men's from general population. I hear in Ghana, a certain tribe of bulky men automatically drop dead at 35 years of age from heart issues. |

Health related issues.. Have a routine health check, but if you are okay after tested, avoid any carbonated or caffeine drinks.. I've discovered what my health likes and dislikes through allergic reactions, so discover yours... I think its our nature in spirit, soul, and body i.e the trio both have process and allergy, and positive and negative. |

I never drank any type of energy drinks before and will never drink . It is not about health related issues but a man close to 40years to 50years this energy drinks will begins to have negative effects or impact in someone's life.

dentaldealsng: If you are not doing a tasking job, it's not advisable to take it. I and caffeine are now enemies tasking job or no. As for me, i'll rather take my kunu mix am with zobo. |

byinks: anykey: Go for an ECG. To rule out any cardiomyopathy that you could be harbouring. It's safe to say that you had several ectopic heartbeats from the caffeine. |
