In this work, the components of ECG signal are QRS complex, QT interval and ST segment were analyzed to determine the effect of having energy drinks on hypercalcaemia by observing 12 healthy human subjects. The reasons for occurring hypercalcaemia which are analyzed here are: absence of the ST segment, wider QRS complex and shortened of QT interval. The normal interval for QRS complex is 0.04 to 0.12 seconds. After having energy drinks it is observed that there is no change happen at the interval level of QRS complex. It is cleared by the significant different which shows "ns" that means significant different does not occur at these conditions i.e., before and after having energy drinks. Also the average value of QRS complex is also smaller than 0.1 s. From this observation it is shown that one of the condition for hypercalcaema is the absence of the ST segment which is not present here i.e., ST segment is present. A little change occurs in the QT interval but it does not give any effect on the abnormality of Hypercalcaemia.
