SVT and full stomach

Anyone get svt or tachycardia when they have just finished eating and have a full stomach? It seems to happen to me alot lately. Scares the daylights right out of me.

It's not uncommon. I get short bursts of tachy if I eat too quickly or too much. I've learned to slow down and eat less as well.

I think it is fairly common. I know my rate goes up, especially if I eat something I am either allergic to or am sensitive to. Also, our digestive has to work harder when we eat, especially if it is a big meal, and this in turn can boost the entire metabolism up and cause a faster rate. I know for awhile, I used to be afraid to eat because I would always feel my heart more, but, now that does not bother me, I wish the PAC's did not bother me. Oh well, all takes time, I guess.

The same thing happened to me. I ate a huge meal and my heart rate started to go up and up, even while on 12.5 mg Toprol. I've been eating very small meals the past week, b/c I'm afraid of it happening again. It hasn't so far, so I'm slowly starting to relax. It was very scary though. How fast was your heart rate?
