I used to be a heavy drinker. After drunken episodes my heart would pound
for hours on end. I sometimes binge on food and the same thing happens. My
heart will pound for hours after eating. My question, after a very vigorous
exercise, my heart will really pound although not for hours. What is the
difference in the pounding? When the heart pounds, it pounds. I realize that
drinking is not good for you nor is overeating. But isn't pounding,
pounding?

Depends on the location of the underlying electrical disturbance. If
this is coming from the lower chambers, it could be life threatening.

At His service,
