Hello everyone and merry Christmas!! Today we have had a lovely family day, my mum came for dinner and we spent most of the afternoon drinking alcohol, I usually don’t drink full sugar pop to mix with my vodka but the shop was closed and I had ran out of Pepsi max, so Dr Pepper it was today, I’d say in total Iv had maybe 8-10 drinks with eating inbetween, I paced myself and had a really lovely day with my mum and my partner, so we have all disappeared off to bed, my partner snoring away, and as I try to fall asleep Iv almost been asleep 4 times and each time I’m just about to fall asleep it feels as if my heart has stopped beating!! I take a huge gasp and jump as it’s very scary and then I can feel my heart again. Iv tried taking my pulse using my Apple Watch it’s in the 90’s at resting which I know is high but my heart rate is often high like that at resting, Iv tried googling and can’t find much, Iv tried checking my health app to see if my watch had picked anything up but it hasn’t but I don’t know if my watch continuously tracks my heart rate or if every so often it will check it and give me an average pulse rate.
So my question is, as this has not happened to me before, has anyone else ever had this? Is it just the alcohol wearing off? I don’t drink much usually maybe once or twice per month but Iv drank a couple of times per week in the lead up to Christmas and think maybe Iv over done it or something. Could I have just imagined it all and maybe I’m so tried from all the Christmas shenanigans that Iv just imagined it
