The accessibility and usage of body building supplements is on the rise with stronger internet marketing strategies by the industry. The dangers posed by the ingredients in them are underestimated. A healthy young man came to the emergency room with palpitations and feeling unwell. Initial history and clinical examination were non-contributory to find the cause. ECG showed atrial fibrillation. A detailed history for any over the counter or herbal medicine use confirmed that he was taking supplements to bulk muscle. One of the components in these supplements is yohimbine; the onset of symptoms coincided with the ingestion of this product and the patient is symptom free after stopping it. This report highlights the dangers to the public of consuming over the counter products with unknown ingredients and the consequential detrimental impact on health.
随着健身补剂行业加强网络营销策略,其可及性和使用量正在上升。其中所含成分带来的危险被低估了。一名健康的年轻男子因心悸和身体不适来到急诊室。初步病史和临床检查未能找出病因。心电图显示为房颤。详细询问任何非处方或草药使用情况后证实,他正在服用增肌补剂。这些补剂中的一种成分是育亨宾;症状的出现与摄入该产品的时间相符,停药后患者症状消失。本报告强调了食用成分不明的非处方产品对公众的危险以及对健康造成的有害影响。
