Can an energy drink create worsen exhaustion?
-
Sure, why not? Different peoples bodies are different. I haven't heard of this effect before, but if it is something you personally are noticing, I would just roll with it.
If you can't do coffee, I suggest tea. In general I think most people should avoid energy drinks. Mostly because they taste gross.
Flavour is precisely what I enjoy in this kind of drinks. Most soft drinks tend to be too sweet.

I agree. There's far too many variables even if OP is a reliable narrator.
Why their metabolism of caffeine (half life is only 5 hours normally) is so slow is what I'd look into first with a doctor. A tiny fraction of people metabolize caffeine extremely slowly due to genetic variations in the CYP1A2 enzyme apparently. Another reason is...liver disease.
Also, just coffee "radically" altering their blood pressure. Huh? Elaborate OP.
Sure. What else do you want to know?

First, it's well established that energy drinks are HORRIBLE for your health.
Second, look at the ingredients, large amounts of sugar and a drug.
Yes, energy drinks can make you feel worse after the effects of sugar and the drug wear off.
I don't get sugar rush. If I go wild on sweets I get an upset stomach and usually just throw up to purge whatever excess sugar can stil be removed. Have been like that since I was a kid.

Have you been checked for hyperglycemia?

I had an acute episode over a single, bad, watered down expresso once, where my blood pressure spiked to 22/18. I could have had a stroke, if it wasn't for timely medical care. Energy drinks don't have the same effect. So either there is another companion molecule on coffee hitting me wrong or something on the energy drinks changes how the caffeine affects me. Even breakfast drinks with very low coffee content causes me headaches and raised blood pressure.
Maybe you have an allergy to coffee?

I dont exactly believe theres any correlation here, Im skeptical. It sounds like you would need to consult a doctor or specialist of some kind to get any answers or get a study done, none of what youre talking about is normal.
I'd feel honored to become a test subject but I really don't think I'm that interesting. Well... Unless I could get my hand on a six pack of Battery Energy Drink. If one can kept me awake for roughly 60 hours, a whole pack would get going for half a month non stop. The down side would be the time I would be out after. And the amount of food I'd eat.

No known allergies.

Have you been checked for hyperglycemia?
Completely healthy. And I eat a balanced diet and have a moderately physical job, which keeps me active. I've talked to doctors and except for the one that received me when I had my episode with extremely high blood pressure, none risked even an hypothesis for what could be affecting me with these drinks.

It's likely you're not getting enough sleep in those 48 hours after you drink one. Dreams occur in the 'lightest' sleep stage, which is also the least restful.
You're probably still feeling the effects of the energy drink the next day which may be why you feel well rested, even though you're not. Then after 48 hours you crash and your body wants to catch up on the deep sleep you missed out on for the past two days.
It's when I dream when usually feel better rested the next day. I get to sleep and enjoy a show.

Antioxidants in tea is junk science.
Like 400x better for you than toxic shit sold on shelves now. No judgement, just fact. I like my shitty sodas sometimes.
