I start to get queasy and almost throw up and the only thing that makes it feel better is if I drink icy cold water and go outside even if its only 10 degrees outside and and I am wearing a t shirt and shorts. Well I haven't drank energy drinks in a long time but I would have to say that last time I did I think it made me feel like that too so I think that's why I stopped drinking them. I also know that I am not diabetic, I got that checked out not that long ago.

Sounds like a caffeine problem. try a decaf latte. If you don't feel sick then it is the caffeine your body doesn't like. Lots of places do great decaff drinks nowadays - it's not a crap coffee like it was years ago!!!!

Anxiety and sleep disorders (by caffeine in coffee) Two infrequently diagnosed caffeine-induced disorders that are recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA) are caffeine-induced sleep disorder and caffeine-induced anxiety disorder, which can result from long-term excessive caffeine intake. In the case of caffeine-induced sleep disorder, an individual regularly ingests high doses of caffeine sufficient to induce a significant disturbance in his or her sleep, sufficiently severe to warrant clinical attention. In some individuals, the large amounts of caffeine can induce anxiety severe enough to necessitate clinical attention. This caffeine-induced anxiety disorder can take many forms, from generalized anxiety to panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, or even phobic symptoms. Because this condition can mimic organic mental disorders, such as panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, or even schizophrenia, a number of medical professionals believe caffeine-intoxicated people are routinely misdiagnosed and unnecessarily medicated when the treatment for caffeine-induced psychosis would simply be to stop further caffeine intake.A study in the British Journal of Addiction concluded that caffeinism, although infrequently diagnosed, may afflict as many as one person in ten of the population.Co administration of theanine was shown to greatly reduce this caffeine-induced anxiety.

You may need to cut your caffeine intake. It could be caffeine poisoning. or it could be that you are dehydrated and need more water.
