Heart Rate Increase After Eating? Concerned...

[scared_nut]

I have health anxiety, had an two EKGs, a chest x-ray, and a blood test that have all come back clean in the last 36 days. Super conscious about heart. Notice that it gets fast after meals, and I feel what I can only describe as uneasy feeling. Really cold feet and hands. Makes it hard to accept its just anxiety at times like this.

I get that frequently, you are probably swallowing air while eating, just gassy. Cold hand and feet are probably the anxiety you are feeling.

Some people tend to have heart palpitations after eating. I am one of them. When I first noticed it I was very concerned also I didn't even want to eat because it scared me. I think it's just your body doing it's job no need to stress over it. The rest of your symptoms are more then likely anxiety related.

It's normal for the heart rate and / or blood pressure to change a bit after eating. The digestive system demands more blood supply to aid in the digestion process. Thus it's normal to experience palpitations, increased heart rate, etc after eating. I also experiences these if I eat a large meal.

when ever i see posts like this, i feel a bit relaxed, to be honest. Yes i can absolutely relate to this....I even avoided certain foods to avoid the nasty palps after eating those...I too get cold hands and feet...I have these only after my breakfast...so i divided my breakfast over 2 servings with 2 hours apart....kinda help though.... pl be rest assured it is nothing to be worried of...

I feel tired and my heart feels heavy and my heart rate increases as well. Especially when I over eat. I probably always felt like that but I am hypersensitive to every little pain or feeling I get since the anxiety kicked in. I have practiced not checking my heart rate anymore and eat smaller portions. I also checked in with myself and realized that it happens every time and I'm always ok. It gets better.
