Rapid Heart Beat, Nausea, Jitters, Vomiting. Taken Hydroxycut. Suggestion?
my grandson who is 20 y/o decided to take hydroxycut with green coffee extract. He is experiencing rapid heartbeat 90 at rest jitters and nausea vomiting but he wont stop taking it he says that these are the side effects for the firtst few days on this. can you shed some light on this for me and is this otc weight loss product safe?
It has a quite high content of caffeine, and all symptoms described could be seen with excessive caffeine consumption. The product might not be safe for pregnant women, those with hypersensitivity to caffeine, heart disease and arrhythmias. I would advise him to attempt weight loss and developing lean muscle mass with exercise, healthy diet containing protein and good rest.
Hope this helps.
