What Causes Rapid Pulse Rate With Nasal Mucus?
I'm doing research for a friend who has the following symptoms:
- Rapid pulse and heart constrictions after drinking alcohol, drinking caffeine, mild exercise, or stress (he thinks that it may be similar to vein constriction, but in the heart).
-Nasal mucous that smells like vinegar or dirty feet
- Rapid pulse and heart constrictions after drinking alcohol, drinking caffeine, mild exercise, or stress (he thinks that it may be similar to vein constriction, but in the heart).

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your question, I would explain that it is normal to have a rapid pulse in the situations that you describe.
It happens to every normal person to have a more rapid pulse in these situations, which activate (physiological pathways) the release in the blood of chatecholamines (adrenaline and noradrenaline), which are responsible for a higher heart rate.
So there is nothing to worry about.
Regarding the nasal mucous with a bad smell, it may be a chronic infection (even a sinus infection).
I recommend consulting with the ENT specialist for a careful examination and a nasal mucous bacterial culture, to establish the diagnosis.
Hope to have been helpful!
Feel free to ask any other questions, whenever you need!
Best regards,
Dr. Iliri
