Rapid heartrate/high blood pressure after eating

[budgetguy]

For the past several years I have noticed that after eating food (which ranges from just a cup of milk to a full meal) that my heart rate and blood pressure increases significantly about 30 minutes after eating, and it lasts for about  one and 1/2 hours to two hours.  This occurs about 50% of the time after eating.  My heart rate goes from ~75 bpm up to 140 bmp (max todate), and the blood pressure goes from 130/80 up to 180/102 (max to date).  Note: I am borderline hypertensive and take 20mg of lisinopril a day. I have attempted to determine if there is a particular type of food, or food additive that might trigger the symptoms, and have noticed the symptoms always occur when I eat peanut butter or the snack crackers that are sold in vending machines, and will occassionally happen when I eat homemade macroni and cheese.  Other that these foods, I can find no relationships.  I can have a cup of milk one morning and get the symptoms, then have a cup the next day from the same gallon and have no symptoms.  I have had several tests in the hospital - stress test, sonogram of the heart, gastronomic tests - with no results.  Of course the tests were not conducted just after eating, so I was not exhibiting the symptoms.  Do you have any thoughts on what might be causing this?

blood type diet addresses this.  eating right 4 your type explains a lot about how what you eat effects a lot in your body. you metabolize food differently than other blood types.  I am o positive and cannot eat corn or wheat gluten or vinegar.  When I do, I get the same symptoms as you do.  Its just how you metabolize food.  heres a link to the website for dr dadamo, who was one of the pioneers of the diet.  it works.

Yes, and rarely do doctors consider doing the test.  But, I know anecdotaly of people who were told it was anxiety, but they truly had a serious disorder.-  It is relatively new as a diagnosis and many doctors still do not know much about it.

interesting thing about the vagus nerve and its correlation to the heart rate and increased blood pressure.  I had a vagotomy and have experienced major heart increase and higher blood pressure.  Mine happens immediately as I only have 1/3 of a stomach.  I am now on benazepril as well as the beta blocker metoprolol.   It helps but is still not perfect.

Hey jay, I have been there and am currently dealing with getting my blood pressure down , anxiety steels life from us. Just want to encourage you to trust in Jesus Christ ,  when you think about what  everyone is posting on here about how food can quickly change what your body is doing. Think about how quickly it can change spiritually . Blessings

Same thing with me.  I'm so tired of visiting the ER and I never get any answers other than they tell me it's anxiety.  In my case it is not.  I hope you are better
