can soda give you a elevated heart rate?

Answer 1

Yes!!

Answer 2

Hi, soda can give you an elevated heart rate in more ways than one, i like to discuss it as acute causes and chronic causes.

For the most part, most sodas contain caffeine, which in itself is a muscarinic agent, and such agents actually increase your heart rate because they work on the receptors, resulting in positive inotropic and chronotropic responses. Thus acutely, caffeine would elevate your heart rate, but this is transcient.

Chronically, you can get a continuously elevated heart rate if you drink lots of sodas, due to the remodelling effects of high concentration sugars in sodas. They can cause hyperlipidemia, and the deposition of plaques in your blood vessels subsequently, which reduce significantly the cross-sectional area in which the blood is being delivered to the body. This results in increased pressure that the blood has to be pumped through the constriction, thus blood pressure is raised.

It is generally advised by most medical personnel not to drink too much sodas and stick to good ole water for various other reasons.

Hope this helps. :D

Answer 3

Eating lots of salt and then drinking anything will created elevated heart rate. Salt causes you to retain water, causing your blood to thin out, thus needing more pumps to get the same level of red blood cell content to pass oxygen to your muscles.

Answer 4

if this soda has caffeine then yes. caffeine is a stimulant which elevates heart rate, resp rate and blood pressure

Answer 5

MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm...lessee...

CAFFEINE MAY BE THE KEY, BUT...

Soft drinks usually contain carbonated water, high-fructose corn syrup or sucrose, caramel color, phosphoric acid, tars, synthetic colorants and flavors. Diet soft drinks contain aspartame or other artificial sweeteners in place of corn syrup.


Health and concerns
Crohn’s disease

A person with Crohn’s disease might consume more sugar than the average healthy person. While details of how sugar injures the intestine are still being uncovered, doctors often suggest eliminating all sugar (including soft drinks with added sugar) from the diets of those with Crohn’s disease.

Female infertility

Soft drinks are a source of caffeine, and while not every study finds that caffeine reduces female fertility, many doctors recommend that women trying to get pregnant avoid caffeine.

Gastritis

Caffeine, found in some soft drinks, increases stomach acid. Avoiding caffeine-containing soft drinks should therefore aid in the healing of gastritis.

Hypoglycemia

Even modest amounts of caffeine may increase symptoms of hypoglycemia. For this reason, caffeinated beverages (such as some soda pop) should be avoided.

Insomnia

The effects of caffeine—a stimulant—can last up to 20 hours, so some people will have disturbed sleep patterns even when their last cup of coffee was in the morning. Besides regular coffee, there are many other sources of caffeine, including many soft drinks.

Kidney stones

In one study, men who refrained from drinking soft drinks (especially drinks containing phosphoric acid) reduced their risk of stone recurrences compared with men permitted to consume soft drinks. Phosphoric acid is thought to affect calcium metabolism in ways that might increase kidney stone recurrence risk. Research in this area remains somewhat inconsistent, however. In one large trial, people who consumed more soft drinks were not at increased risk.

Osteoporosis

Like salt, caffeine increases urinary loss of calcium. Caffeine intake has been linked to increased risk of hip fractures, and to a lower bone mass in women who consumed inadequate calcium. Many doctors recommend decreasing caffeinated beverages, including soft drinks, as a way to improve bone mass.

Cola drinkers have been reported to have an increased incidence of bone fractures, although short-term consumption of carbonated beverages has not affected markers of bone health. The problem, if one exists, may be linked to phosphoric acid, a substance found in many soft drinks. Although a few studies have not linked soft drinks to bone loss, the preponderance of evidence now suggests that a problem may exist.

Premenstrual syndrome

Women who consume more sugary foods and caffeine-containing beverages appear to have an increased risk of PMS. Among a group of college students in the United States, consumption of caffeine-containing beverages was associated with increases in both the prevalence and severity of PMS. Moreover, the more caffeine women consumed, the more likely they were to suffer from PMS. A preliminary study showed that women with heavy caffeine consumption were more likely to have shorter menstrual periods and shorter cycle length compared with women who did not consume caffeine. Therefore, many doctors recommend that women with PMS avoid sugar and caffeine-containing beverages.

Tell you what...take cold water, add orange, lemon and now you got something cheaper and healthier.

Ohhhh...sounds like too much like cooking...
