Heyy everyone! So last night I decided to go out to a club with some friends. Of course the drinks were flowing (a little too much) but I noticed so many more hard skips and rapid heart rate all night while I was there. At one point I had to step away to regain myself I thought I was going to have to leave. I tried my best to ignore them but they still freaked me out. Okay now this morning im a little hung "under" but my heart feels like its pounding out of my chest. I woke up drenched in sweat and my pulse was near 120bpm. I can get it to slow down by taking some slow deep breaths but it only slows for a short time then is back to racing. Is this normal? This makes me never want to drink again.

I don't drink but I've heard from ALOT of fellow skippers that alcohol in large quantities is a no!

Drink lots of water-alcohol dehydrates you and increases your heart rate. That could be contributing to it.

water and gatorade. My heart will race after alcholol if I don't alternate with water mixed with gatorade.

I have never drank, hard to believe huh? It just never appealed to me. I hope you are feeling better Amanday, gee, that is no fun to have those palps and fast heart rate.

Amanda - google "holiday heart" and you'll see that yeah, drinking can mess you up.

It's a brain depressant but a heart stimulant, so, not a huge surprise.

Lay off the sauce!! :p
