A member asked:
I have palpitations or pvcs but whenever i consume alcohol they go away for a couple days. how come?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: They may still be there but you do not feel them? Only other explanation is that alcohol acts as an acute myocardial depressant (not good) and may depress the ectopic areas that produce the extra beats. In any event: alcohol is more dangerous than palpitations. Be careful.
