Can eating trigger palps?

Can eating trigger palps?

For some odd reason, about half an hour after eating breakfast (no matter what foods I eat), my heart starts to beat hard and I feel shaky inside and tired. My pulse rate isn't high, just noticeable. This lasts about 45 minutes to an hour and then subsides.  I also have acid reflux, but since I take Nexium about two hours before this hits, I don't think it's reflux related. I also have about 8500 PVCs a day, on average, so I don't need this added shaky/weak feeling with palps. it's a mystery as to what this is, and my doctors just look at me oddly when I bring it up. Anyone else have something like this, and/or know what it might be. It really makes me not want to eat breakfast.  I don't have it as much after other meals later in the day, and sometimes  not at all. It's most pronounced in the morning.

I don't have the same problem, unless I count the fact that I have AFib all the time, before, during and after breakfast...

Are you saying if you don't eat breakfast you do not have the palaps?  If that's true it seems the best advice may be to try eating very lightly to none, maybe just juice and a slice of toast.  Then if you're doing fine try to have something else at the morning break, like a breakfast bar or something else nourishing and see how that goes.  It may be the shock of breakfast is too much for the time-keeping part of your heart.
