Heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath after drinking beer is dangerous or not?

Ask‌ ‌
Hello doctor. About 2 days ago, I drank beer, but after using it, I felt red in the face and my heart beat faster after drinking beer. When lying down, you can feel your neck, the back of your head, and hear your heart beating fast. The next morning, I also had symptoms of chest pain in the front of the heart along with shortness of breath.
So in this case what should I do? Heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath after drinking beer is dangerous or not? Please advise, I sincerely thank you.

Hello,
When you use a large amount of alcohol, it will affect many organs including the heart, there may be signs of heart palpitations after drinking beer. I can only use 2 cans of beer or 2 glasses of wine per day. If the phenomenon of heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath after drinking beer still persists, you should see a cardiologist.
