Dr. Joshua Cooper answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Get checked out: There are a couple reasons the heart rate can race after drinking too much alcohol. One is being dehydrated and a faster pulse is a normal response. The other, however, is an abnormal rhythm called atrial fibrillation. This rhythm can cause a fast and irregular pulse and requires medical treatment. If your pulse remains fast during the day, you should get medical attention.

A member asked:

My resting pulse rate has been 95 to 100 beats per minute for the last few days. I've had heart tests with a cardiologist about a year ago and all was fine. Can stress and anxiety cause that?
