Caffine Overdose?

I have consumed the following in the past 2-3hours: 1-Monster Energy XXL: 24-ounce 1-200mg NoDoz and 1-Red Bull Energy drink. I am now experiencing a quicker heart beat, shakiness a mild headache and am starting to break out. What if any danger should I be concerned about.
Answer:
You seem concerned. Because of your concern, I'd really suggest calling poison control. I know we don't normally think of caffeine as a poison, but anything can be if we ingest more than our bodies can handle. I don't know anything about caffeine overdoses, but because it is a central nervous stimulant, it can do all sorts of stuff to your heart rate, respirations, etc.

From an online search...

"The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.

This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the U.S. use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
You can worry about having a heart attack and seizures. Go to the hospital right away.
This can actually cause you to have a heart attack, excessive loss of urine resulting in loss of electrolytes, and seizures. Not very smart on your part. You also may start vomitting from the overdose.
There is nothing they can do for you at the hospital. Why in the world would you take this much stuff anyways.
ur my hero.

if you havnt had any nose bleeds i wouldnt get to concerned,that is the most common thing to happen before you would have actual heart trouble,but if your real concerned call the hospital and talk to the triage nurse
