Tachycardia after eating a heavy meal?

[antsypants]

Please explain why I sometimes get tachycardia within a 1/2 after eating a heavy meal?  The heavy meal usually causes bloating and indigestion, then tachy.  This doesn't happen all of the time, just when the meal is particularly rich with carbohydrates and/or fat.

Thanks

I have this problem after a big meal, too. But I know I am Gluten intolerant from a Great Smokies Food allergy panel. I also get a racing heart in the morning, in the middle of the night or before bedtime and dread going to bed. I'm talking full tilt for 5-10 minutes at over 140 bpm. But I have found a few things that help  1) beta blockers before meals, 2) 'Cardio Well' herbs from Get Well International in San Jose area 2) Restricting carbohydrates of all kinds 3) a tranquilizer at dinner 4) the book called 'Potatoes, not Prozac' which explains the brain connection to insomia. Unstable insulin response - way up then way down can be detected with blood strips. And I don't care what they say in the media - I use L-Trypophane 500 mg at night and sleep much better. My med tests all came back normal but I'm still looking. Good luck to you all.

In October 04 I noticed about 20 minutes after I ate my heart felt funny, like it was miss beating. I went to my cardiologist and received a 24hr monitor. They lost the data on me. This went away. Now after 2 months its happening again. My wife (a nurse) listened to my chest during this event today and said my heart beat was normal but seemed to speed up a little then go back down. This stops immediatly when I stand-up. After about an hour passes the events stop. Whats this all about? I also forgot to say I have had benign PVC's for about 6 years.
