Hi,
There are reports that raspberry ketones (chemically similar to other types of stimulant drugs) can cause side effects such as jitteriness, increased blood pressure, and rapid heartbeat among people taking them.
Assuming you've never felt these types of things before then, I would recommend you stop the ketones and see if things get back to normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
