Can Excess Intake Of Alcohol Cause Discomfort In Chest?

I'm a 33 year old woman and my pulse is currently between 115 to 120, resting. I did have a few too many Vodka and Redbulls 2 nights ago and since then I have had this squeezing sensation on my heart and it feels as though I am not quite with it. What could be wrong with me.

Could be heart trouble...especially with all the stimulants in redbull. Cannot say in your particular case. CAN say, that 33 is not very common for heart trouble and irritation of the esophagus, or stomach, or diaphram is much more common and causes similar symptoms. Can say, that maalox/tums/ other stomach medicines dont do very much to heart pain... and if the pain stops from a stomach drug... the pain is very likely from the stomach.
