I think this is a total shot in the dark as it's a weird one but basically I haven't been able to drink alcohol (anytime after teatime say) for over 3 months now.
The reason is, is when I go to bed I wake up in the night with horrific palpitations. Now they are not like normal ones that you get in a panic attack as they last for ages. If I lay perfectly still, they eventually calm down but the minute I move a muscle, my heart takes off again!
It can take up to an hour for it to stop, then I'm back to normal.
This only started about 3 months ago and up till then I drank regularly. Not a lot but most nights enjoyed a glass or two of wine.
Now this will happen even if I had half a glass of anything alcoholic but the most weird thing is I can drink in the afternoon and so long as it's completely out of my system by bedtime, I'm ok??
Do you reckon this is medical or something in my head that brings it on?
