Heart rate day after drinking alcohol

[MarathonChris]

I am a data geek so I like tracking the HR data from my Fitbit.  I am an runner and I log my average heartrate during my runs as well as my resting heart rate for that day to get a % HR number.  It lets me know how hard I am working.

One thing I did notice about my resting heart rate is that it would elevate 1 - 3 bpm for the day after drinking alcohol (for me usually a couple of glasses of wine) the night before.  The HR would stay slightly elevated for a day or two, then drop back down again.

Has anyone else noticed a casual correlation between resting heart rate and low to moderate alcohol consumption?

Lluriana are you referring to your resting heart rate or your blood pressure? For example 124/80.

For me it is the same. Even despite drinking it will increase with stress. Better to walk than to drink.

If you went to go to the hospital, it could be that you had alcohol poisoning. Were these your symptoms?

Very good! You will live a long time!

It's not perfect for sure but at least it's some form of a tool to track the difference in your rhr. 

[Williehutch03]

Wow you typically have a RHR of 45! That is amazing 👍🏾 

[Williehutch03]

Keep it up and congratulations! 

[Williehutch03]

Did you completely quit? What is your status now? I'm debating on totally quitting. 

[Williehutch03]

The best response ever!

@slikkjakka Going forward with Fitbit, it best to sign with your Google account.
