Heart Beat Increases after meal

[ArvindD]

It is a problem I have seen in one of the threads of Medhelp

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Heart-Disease/Tachycardia-after-eating-a-heavy-meal/show/253644

I have poor digestion and after a heavy meal I have an onset of tachycardia (Heart Beat  rises to 100-120 per minute, sometimes more). This is then followed by respiratory distress, dizziness, etc. This also happened once when I drank water after exercise in the morning or in another case when I climbed stairs in an Oxygen poor environment, like the stairs in my office building.

I wanted to know the causes and the cure.


Thanks

Digesting food puts more demand on the body for Oxygen. This CAN show  a problem with circulation, the heart or even a lung problem. As you say you have noticed symptoms when climbing stairs, then maybe you should have your blood pressure checked and have a chat with your GP. Are you generally a fit person? i.e. normal BMI and non smoker?
