flag Pediatric ER visits rise among children due to energy drink use, linked to high caffeine and health risks.

flag Pediatric doctors at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, Georgia, are warning about rising emergency room visits among children as young as 10 due to energy drink consumption. flag Symptoms like chest pain, rapid heart rates, and anxiety—some mimicking heart attacks—have been linked to high caffeine levels, sometimes exceeding 600 milligrams per day from just a few cans. flag These drinks, often marketed with flashy packaging and sweet flavors, hide caffeine content on labels, making it hard for parents and kids to track intake. flag Additional ingredients like taurine may contribute to heart rhythm issues. flag Common side effects include headaches, tremors, sleep problems, and withdrawal symptoms. flag Doctors urge parents to monitor and limit children’s access to these beverages due to serious health risks.
