Can Red Bull alcohol excess actually be to blame for this “heartbeat”?
We had this topic on the table a few years ago.
But now the inquiries about this video are increasing again, in which you can see how a young man was strapped to a stretcher.
He receives medical attention while his heart appears to be clearly pumping more or less regularly.
Back then there was talk of 24 Red Bulls, today there are 4 fewer, but mixed with alcohol.

20 Red Bull and alcohol?
20 Red Bull including alcohol sounds very bad, but does it actually give you such a heartbeat?
One of our employees had actually consumed twice as many Red Bulls. This experience was by no means pleasant for him and we expressly warn you against trying to repeat it! Woe betide anyone who comes up with the idea of turning it into a stupid “Facebook challenge”!
“I lay in bed and bawled. Yelled because my head was pounding and I just wanted to fall asleep. I felt so bad. Plus all the alcohol... But my heart/chest wasn't bubbling like that. But it was hell. Brain freeze after too much ice cream sucks.”
In England, too, a mother of four children drank 24 cans of Red Bull every day for five years, as the Mirror reported , although she is not known to have had such a violent heartbeat.
So what are we seeing here?
The research led us to stumpertjes.nl.
A Dutch website that publishes more or less “funny” videos. The video was removed from the site in 2015. The video also quickly disappeared on YouTube.
Why? Because, according to some information, it is supposed to be about the treatment of the Brazilian Sertaneja singer Cristiano Araújo, who died on June 24, 2015.
The site Latina-Press writes the following:
According to doctors, the artist was admitted to the emergency room of the hospital unconscious. Artificial respiration was carried out and brain death was diagnosed.
The video was allegedly taken immediately after the accident and shows artificial respiration.
Whether this video actually shows his agony cannot be fully confirmed.
Artificial ventilation?
But what it is definitely not about is a mega heartbeat caused by Red Bull.
If you show the video to people who work in medicine, they will categorize what is shown as a “serial rib fracture with paradoxical or inverse breathing and unstable left half of the thorax.”
The red skin would be explained by a strong impact, for example in the event of an accident.
Result:
The video first appeared on a Dutch "nonsense site" which claimed that "this extreme heartbeat" was caused by 24 cans of Red Bull.
After that, the video appeared again and again on Facebook.
Even if this supposed heartbeat was most likely not caused by the energy drink, you should generally not drink Red Bull in large quantities.
Too much caffeine is unhealthy anyway!
