many things can cause an accelerated heart rate including certain types of nasal sprays. for you alcohol may be acting as a stimulant so perhaps you need to cut back on your intake to see if it is "dose-related". you should run this by your medical provider so you can have your heart properly examined.
after drinking alcohol my heart rate increases so that i notice it. is this normal? . after a drinking session (maybe five or six beers) i notice that my heart rate has accelerated. it doesn't cause any pain but i notice it. also after going to bed i'll wake up in the night and my heart beat is accelerated. is this from dehydration? i have had a glass of water and it seems to help some but i was curious about this. any ideas? the only medication i take is prilosec. sometimes nasal spray for allergies.
