This thing is my undoing.Originally Posted by Baz
If I were to be honest over the past 3 years or so my intake would probably be at a can of this stuff per day. And that's before you add in any Pepsi or Fanta type stuff. So this has been a long time coming really.
Ah so it was CeX who wouldn’t budge on those shift patterns.

I drink way too many energy drinks. Probably going to end up having a heart attack age 40.
Things were fine when I'd only tried Red Bull, because it tastes like crap, but then I tried a Monster and that was that.
Though the way things are going your "full fat" versions of these kinds of drinks will die out soon.
What's the appeal? Surely any boost in energy is followed by an equal decline.
I drink it because it tastes nice. Simple as that really. Same reason as I've never touched coffee. Tastes likes crap so I didn't touch it again.
Thankfully I think that Red Bull tastes like piss and I've never bothered to try a can of Monster.
The Coke Zero I drink is more than enough caffeine.
I probably average about 1 can of energy juice a day but it’s more due to Red Bull watermelon and tropical being the bollocks than anything else. Thank god they don’t do bigger cans of them like the normal flavour.
I discovered tropical blast a while back so rarely drink coke at all any more now.
My entire intake of “fizzy” drinks is a Fanta Lemon (previously Sprite before the anti-sugar brigade fucked it) once in a while on a hot day and I would convince myself it’s a treat. You lot have me questioning my life.
I've only drank Monster in the form of Jaegerbombs. The cokes I grabbed abroad will probably be the only fizzy drinks I take all year.
Aldi Lilt?
I'm a twit
What's your poison then, cordial? Or just high quality H2O?
Yes but it was nicer than Lilt even before they ruined Lilt.
I've also taken a serious liking to soda water. I keep a keg of it these days.
A man of fine culture, I see. A pint of crisp soda water is the shit and some establishments don't even charge for it thanks to the disgusting sugar drinkers.
Council pop lad.
I was going to lol at you all for consuming fizzy drinks but then I remembered I've got quite a bad chocolate habit. Lindt eggs were down to 15p in Tesco so I bought seven of them this morning and they probably won't see tomorrow evening.
Orange and soda is great.
I'm a twit
Who love's OrangeSoda?
Mother fucker.
Grow up and drink adult drinks.
If a pub is charging for soda water, I’d class it as not a very good pub. Should always be free.
Oh and blackcurrant and soda is tremendous.
Coming up to a week on now.
Noticing almost nothing palpitation wise, having cut out the caffeine completely. I probably don't need to go cold turkey on it, but it's probably best for now anyway.
I feel like now I'm coming out the other side of having come down with something, which is odd because I never felt like I had anything. All around my shoulders to neck feel a bit tender and I still have some pains but they feel like they're in my ribs, front and back.
Tried lugging a few bags of shopping home yesterday as I felt okay and it killed me off a bit.
Considering my job is physical, will be giving the GP a call in the morning to see if I can get in. Self cert'd last week so I'll need a note at least if I'm going to be having more time off.
Doc diagnosed Costochondritis, which is an inflammation where your ribs join your breastbone. Nothing he can do bar give me something to line my stomach and tell me to smash the ibuprofen. Signed me off for two weeks to rest.
BP is also still high so I'll likely end up on some tablets for that soon.
Hot off the heals of the wife being told she needs to get her wisdom teeth removed (they've never surfaced), I've been told today that I should do the same (only one is embedded in the jaw thankfully). What a fun few weeks ahead.
I’ve had all four of mine out. It’s actually fine. Got sedated for the procedures because why would you want to be awake for that shit. Was back to normal the following day.
Two of mine only partially came through. No bother with them yet, though.
I've got Bacterial Conjunctivitis for the first time and it's an absolute cunt. I had to peel one of my eyes open this morning and the other isn't far behind.
Just had to bowl up the doctors and sit in there in a pair of sunglasses, which is the look of a man going under cover because he's expecting a Syphilis diagnosis. Seething.
You must have been a sight for sore eyes.
If it happens again just buy the Goldeneye drops if you can get them. They work and won't make you look like a sex pest in the waiting room.I've got Bacterial Conjunctivitis for the first time and it's an absolute cunt. I had to peel one of my eyes open this morning and the other isn't far behind.

I've been noticing some funky high heart rates recently when working out which went to a FUN 240 yesterday which obviously made me shit myself. It only lasts for 30 seconds or so but it's clearly not normal.
Get an ECG instead of dancing to the Oompah band like a total dick.
That's the plan. I'm going to get one next week hopefully once I've seen the doc tomorrow.
Doubtful that a one off ecg will pick that up, so you might have to wear a 24 hour monitor.
Could be a short burst of supraventricular tachycardia. If it happens again you can try something called vagal manoeuvres. Try massaging one of the carotid arteries in your neck. Or try pursing your lips together and exhaling through them, so that it’s creates a force. That should slow your heart rate down faster.
Those are pussy vagal manoeuvres. Dunk your head in a bucket of ice like a real man.
My wife has the opposite, a really low heart rate. Had some tests and was deemed nothing to worry about it.
I should check our life insurance policy covers bradycardia.

Safe from COVID for that 6 month spell though.
I've came out in a weird rash below my knees and it's really hot. Nice knowing you lads.
Did a full on cardiology exam today. I'm not dying.
And on today's health update, the first two wisdom teeth are out. Surprisingly it didn't hurt and so far I'm still riding the numbing sensation.
Blinding pain in my left knee when bent. The internet would suggest I've damaged my meniscus. Recovery time varies wildly.
Had the shits today.
It's either a bug or linked to my weight loss I'd imagine as I haven't eaten anything out of the norm lately.
Been flowing like water out of my arse.
Got an ear infection and I have to say, this is the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I want to blow my brains out. Even a max Ibuprofen/Paracetamol dose seems to have stopped having any sort of noticeable effect.
What made you place your ear at the hole?
They are grim aren’t they. Have you got green stuff dripping out of it?
I'm a twit
Possibly a stupid question, but you sure it isn't a tooth? I had similar when one of my wisdom teeth was infected. Brutal pain.
Had a wax plug flushed Friday morning and this came about Saturday morning with loss of hearing and pressure build up, so pretty sure. Something has given in now though so it is leaking, but the pain is still there. Guess I might have ruptured the ear drum. At least it's not green.
