What Causes Red Patches On Legs/face And Racing Heart Rate After Drinking?
Hi I'm not a heavy drink maybe 2 beers or a glass a wine a week been drink for 10 years. I'm now 28 years (female) over the past few months whenever I drink I get red patches on my legs or face and my heart rate goes from 69 bpm to 95 and will stay like this for a while. Is it possible Ive become allergic my blood pressure ranges from 95/69 and 111/72. I'm not on any medications. Thanks Jane

It's physiological effect of alcohol, it's not allergy but heighten sensitive to the effect of alcohol, it causes blood vessels to dilate and your symptoms. So consume alcohol in less amount and effect probably wean after sometime.
