Those energy drinks are not for you. You will create more problems if you drink that. I found this information for you. Hope it helps you understand what you can do and not do. Did your doctor give you a list of things that you are not allowed to do?
Miscellaneous elements besides drugs that should be avoided:
Fava Beans
(Some, but only some, prefer also to avoid red wine, henna (see below), all legumes, blueberries [also yogurts containing these], soya products, tonic water: whether you should avoid any of these would depend on your enzyme deficit level and mutation.)
Black Henna (Indigofera tinctoria), Red Egyptian Henna (Lawsonia inermis) and other related dyes, used for both tattoos and hair dyes. Ann Trop in Pediatr 16: 287, 1996 and Kök AN, Ertekin MV, Ertekin V, Avci B. in Int J Clin Pract 58: 530, 2004) have shown that henna might trigger in G6PD deficient persons hemolytic crisis or at least an excessive hemolysis.
In vitro experiments suggest that the substance responsible for such hemolysis is 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (or lawsone: see Pediatrcis 97:707,1996).

do not know what that is. But those drinks can cause heart problems they have way too much caffeine in them no one should everdrink them.
Why drink all that sugar when you already have problems, I presume your doctor has already told you what to eat and drink
