Please just watch yourself and monitor things. There is epinephrine in this and that plays a role in every beat of your heart. Vaso constriction, heart palpitations... just be careful.
I have to agree with the above post. Be careful with epinephrine and dont let people convince you your chest pain was from a recent illness. Monior it daily and take your BP often ( start ,end of day)

Supplements To Avoid (this is an write up from Big Cat on BB site)
Epinephrine
Not too long ago, after I became aware that some supplements contained alternate versions of the hormone epinephrine, I issued a warning on the message boards. That epinephrine has its values is not an issue here. Next to cortisol, cathecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine) are the only hormones capable of burning fat instead of glycogen, and considering that cortisol will inhibit glycogen use epinephrine is probably the wiser choice. But to go as far as supplementing it is ludicrous. Perhaps I can clear a lot of things up if I tell you that the common name for epinephrine is adrenaline. The fight or flight hormone. Having high epinephrine levels for short times is beneficial because it will positively influence GH balance and hold back excessive cortisol production. Motivation and anxiety will trigger the manufacture of dopamine and eventually epinephrine. That's why short intense bursts of training are usually preferred over long moderate exercise. This is the principle Mentzer's HIT is based upon and the logic behind fast reps, training no longer than 45 minutes and keeping intensity high.
Of course there is an unfortunate downside to epinephrine. Epinephrine negates the effect of insulin. When bodybuilders maximize insulin, they attempt to store large amounts of muscle-protein and glycogen for future actions. This is the correct way for bulking up, because you can counter the adverse effects of training hard. By turning blood-glucose into stored glycogen, you can create a higher energy potential and faster recovery. Epinephrine does the opposite, it will rob tissue of glycogen and turns it into free glucose. If this goes on long enough, you will deplete your recovery reserves, which isn't wishful for a bodybuilder seeking to gain.
Putting epinephrine in supplements is irresponsible and unethical. They will not only not improve your results, chances are they will simply reverse them. The benefits of epinephrine can be had naturally, by staying motivated, anticipation and when dieting a good ECA stack will give you all the fat-metabolizing benefits of cathecholamines. If you really believe you need larger amounts of epinephrine, taking in higher amounts of the amino acid Tyrosine may be the best choice. All cathecholamines are manufactured from this amino acid. Since it's not even an essential amino acid, I think you really shouldn't worry about epinephrine levels. If my rant hasn't convinced you consider that cathecholamines are very similar to cortisol. And cortisol is our enemy. These hormones kick in when there is a high stress placed on our bodies that threatens to completely deplete our body's glycogen and is used to find alternate sources of energy. Mostly fat, but also protein. High levels of these substances will break down muscle tissue. What's more is that they decrease immune efficiency, because all resources are pulled together for body function instead of body protection. Adrenaline and cortisone, artificial forms of respectively epinephrine and cortisol, were popular drugs to cyclists a while ago. They couldn't detect the stuff in the body, and even if they could, they would claim the cortisone was taken to counter inflamation of an injury. But it became obvious if a virus was introduced to the area and 35 cyclists in the same race, came down with the exact same infection. Since cyclists usually have good immune systems and this particular virus wasn't very strong, suspicion was imminent, but proof was never found.
In short, taking epinephrine is a dangerous affair, the likes of steroids, and will shortchange your gains, unlike steroids. So its a lose-lose situation. This stuff is very dangerous and you should definitely avoid anything that contains it.
