Brief Answer:
Palpitation due to alcohol and anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
Heart beating fast is palpitation.
Alcohol and anxiety seem main reason for the same in your case.
And if you are taking beer over some other medication can make you feel even worse.
Feeling of itchy and fullness of chest may be because of one or combination of 1.palpitation 2.Gas or acidity 3.allergy
My advice to you is,
Avoid alcohol.
Get your Blood pressure and EKG checked to rule out any possibility of some thing related to them.
Take pantoprazole if at all it happens to you again.
Hope you have answer to your query, if any thing else you are welcome.
Good luck.
