She says her husband had to be resuscitated but there was 'essentially nothing wrong' with him

A woman has issued an energy drink warning after her husband suffered a ‘cardiac arrest’ from ‘drinking too many’ of them.

Meagan Shreve has taken to TikTok to encourage people to stop drinking the stuff as she recalled a night in January when she woke up to her husband ‘not feeling great’.

With Aaron’s ‘heart racing’, the mum thought he was having a panic attack and encouraged him to ‘wait it out’ but he knew he needed to get to hospital ‘immediately’.

Very quickly after getting there, the man thought he was ‘going to go down’ and alarms began going off. “His heart stopped,” Meagan explained.

Doctors began performing chest compressions to resuscitate the 34-year-old which Meagan said resulted in broken ribs. She described the whole ordeal as very ‘traumatic’.

Aaron then had his heart monitored for ‘five to six weeks’ by cardiologists as they tried to find a cause for his cardiac arrest.

The woman claimed that after this there were still ‘no answers’ and it ‘all came down to the fact that they think that he was dehydrated and having too many energy drinks’.

Meagan added in TikTok comments that her husband had been drinking around ‘two to three’ of them a day, plus coffee.

According to Bupa UK, the safe daily amount of caffeine for those over the age of 18 is up to 400mg (working out at about four or five cups of coffee).

Meagan stressed how there was ‘essentially nothing wrong with’ Aaron but this scary situation seemed to come down to his consumption of the drinks.

The NHS recommends drinking caffeine ‘in moderation’ as it says some are ‘more sensitive’ to it than others.

And for Meagan, energy drinks are now a frightening idea.

“If you’re somebody who’s downing two, three, four energy drinks a day, I would highly encourage you to stop,” she warned.

She says the drinks can be ‘extremely dangerous’, adding that even if you don’t want to quit for yourself: “Do it for the people in your life, because this is something that I’ve never been able to get over.”

LADbible has contacted Red Bull for comment.
