I picked up a can of Grace Coconut water a few weeks back and found it to be a really nice refreshing drink.
I looked it up on google and found that it is touted as having many good health qualities.
In any case, last night I opened a can at 10:15 and drank half of it, and as I drank it all of a sudden I felt my hole body shudder. I am not sure if it was arthmia or what but my heart just started to race. I had not eaten or drinken anything for about 90 minutes prior to drinking the stuff.
I then went upstairs and my heart was just pounding like I had run a race.
I am 52 and in OK shape although I do like eating the odd junk food here and there. As I was washing up for bed, I could see my heart pumping through my T shirt and was a little alarmed as to what was happening.
I told my wife to feel my chest and she was alarmed, and I told her all I had was some coconut water. She was afraid, so I downplayed it.
I went to bed and as I lie there I started doing breathing exercises to try and slow this crazy high heart rate down. Eventually I nodded off and at 1 am I awoke and felt really weird. I had that feeling in my throat like I had just run 5 miles. I got up groggy and still felt the high heart rate and went downstairs and took 2 advils. I sat in bed for another 40 minutes and the Advil seemed to have done the trick.
So what the heck do you think happened?
Could it be the coconut water or some reaction to the coconut pulp mixed into it?
Today I was fine but I may never drink the stuff again.
whew
