Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I read your question and understand your concern.

Her symptoms may be related to a gastro intestinal disorder ( esophagitis or esophageal spasms), or an allergic reaction the drink.

I recommend bringing her to the ER as soon as possible and perform a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x ray.

An immediate treatment may be necessary in case of an allergic reaction.

Further blood lab tests like: complete blood count, fasting sugar, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests and a GI endoscopy may be necessary to establish the possible cause.

Hope to have been of help!

Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
