Doctors are treating more and more patients for problems associated with these caffeine-laden products including an irregular heartbeat, myocardial infarctions and sleep problems. Learn more in the video below, featuring Brooke Bokor, MD, MPH, a physician in the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at Children’s National.
