only the person who posted that can say whether they are exaggerating their problems, that said people with heart problems can drink and review energy drinks, and no it doesnt have to cause serious consequences for them....
if the person has consulted with their doctor and they understand where their limits of intake are and how to manage their health issues they dont have to a problem with drinking energy drinks...
example energy drinks have caffeine in them. thats what they are a drink high in caffeine. they have no more in them than drinking a couple cups of coffee. they give a person the same amount of energy that drinking a couple cups of coffee in 5 minutes would do. yes the heart would speed up but no more than say someone who was jogging or running or walking on a tread mill. (all of which are acceptable activities to do with heart problems)
the trick here is moderation. a person with a heart problem can do anything anyone else can do including eating and drinking. they just need to contact their treatment providers and understand where their limitations are and what to do.
think of it like your mental disorders. your profile says you have anxiety and depression. does that mean you cant watch tv, go shopping, review nastalgic foods from the '90s because they may have appeared in scary movies, ..... of course not right... you know your limits and do what you want based on how you feel and what you think is right for you...
well people on facebook with mental and physical health problems do the same thing, they know their limits and dont let their mental or physical health problems stop them from doing what they want.
another example I have MS a physical health disease. does that mean I cant go camping, swimming, sailing, skating in central park and eating the foods I like and drinking the drinks I like.... no, it just means I have to know what my limitations are and base what I am doing on how i am feeling in the moment.
my opinion I see nothing wrong with someone on facebook posting about their health problems and their consumption of energy drinks. I just leave their activities up to them and their own treatment providers. obviously the person didnt have any heart issues because of it, I mean they were alive and well and posting about it so as far as I can see no harm done.
