Holiday Heart Syndrome happens when alcohol triggers an abnormal heart rhythm — usually AFib — even in people with no history of heart problems. And it spikes every holiday season.

Alcohol increases adrenaline levels, dehydrates you, and disrupts your heart’s electrical signals. Combine that with stress, salty foods, and poor sleep… and your heart can flip into AFib fast.

⚠️ Symptoms to watch for:
• racing or fluttering heartbeat
• chest discomfort
• shortness of breath
• dizziness or feeling faint

Enjoy the holidays — just listen to your heart and pace the drinks.

Share this to keep someone safe this season. ❤️

Heart attacks spike during the holidays — yes, really. Big meals, high salt, alcohol, and stress can all raise blood pressure and put extra strain on your heart within hours.
