What Causes Elevated Heart Rate After Consuming Wine?
I find that invariably, if I have two glasses of wine in an evening, I wake up during the night with a really rapid heart rate...sometime even in the 90 s and low 100 s. Is this dangerous? I am 69, by the way, and in excellent health as far as I know. Very active, no other problems or health conditions that I am aware of. Thank you for answering my question to you

Hello,
It is a transient change and will return to normal spontaneously. It does not indicate any disease condition and no treatment is required either.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
