- I'm a 72-year-old chronic wine drinker (10-12 glasses per week) and have been experiencing elevated heart rates during some non-intense tennis workouts for the past two years (140-150 bpm). My doctor is not concerned, but some of the average heart rates have been unusually high. From your podcast, I'm thinking that my body might be responding to wrongly perceived stress due to alcohol consumption. I'm considering quitting drinking to see what happens, but I was wondering if the stress response will actually dissipate over time as the body rids itself of the alcohol effects. Thanks!
