Significantly Increased heart rate after eating?

[lorien33]

Hello,

My normal resting heart rate is about 60, but for some reason when ever I eat a meal (not a small snack) by heart rate will go up to as high at 132 bpm.

I understand that your heart rate will increase but not by this much. I have had many tests done on my heart (5 EKGs, an echo, a chest xray, a holter monitor, and blood work) which all come out normal. I am 23 years old.

A colleague suggested to me  that this could be a food allergy. I do not drink coffee or consume caffiene, nor do I smoke.

My doctor just kind of shrugs this off but I am starting to wonder if it may be a sensitively to something? Is that possible?

Thanksf or any input.

The same thing happens to me, too.  Please let me know if you found out any more information.  Thanks.

This is common with food allergies. I would consider keeping a log of when this happens and what you are eating before it happens.

Good luck !
