16 Oct Woman Reveals What Energy Drinks Did To Her Husband As She Was Nine-Months Pregnant

When is the last time you had an energy drink? Maybe you had one this morning, or will have one in the afternoon to perk yourself up? The sugary caffeinated beverages are extremely popular, but few people stop to consider the effect they have on the human body.

For most people, enjoying an energy drink every now and then isn’t much of a concern, but for one man and his pregnant wife, his overuse of them changed their family forever and left him unrecognizable.

Austin and Brianna, a young couple from California, were expecting their first child when the unthinkable happened. Brianna received a call one morning informing her that her beloved husband was in the hospital after suffering an injury at work.

Without knowing the details, Brianna, now nine months pregnant, drove two hours to find out that her husband was undergoing complex brain surgery.

Austin had suffered from a brain hemorrhage. Following the gruelling five our procedure was yet another surgery, strokes, seizures, and swelling. Austin tested negative for any drugs in his system, and the only thing doctors could attribute the hemorrhage to was Austin’s excessive consumption of energy drinks.

He had picked up the habit in order to cope with a busy work schedule and a long commute. The caffeine in the beverages constricts the blood vessels, elevating blood pressure, and putting a person at a higher risk for a brain hemorrhage.

One of the procedures Austin underwent was a decompressive craniotomy. This is where a portion of Austin’s skull was permanently removed to stop the bleeding in his brain. Briana did not know if he would survive.

“There was a moment, sitting by his hospital bed, just praying he would be okay, that I knew I would never give up on him. No matter how messy our life would become. I was going to be by his side through all of it.”

But Briana could not stay by his side when it cam time to deliver their baby.
