LindaJoy Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hey, does anyone here with POTS get really cold hands and feet immediately after eating, and maybe even get a little shaky, too?Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I definitely have symptoms after eating but I have not noticed cold hand and feet. I do get shaky sometimes--with adrenaline rush feelings, and my heart rate usually goes up at least 10 bpm and I have more palpitations.Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 i can't eat at all but in the past never had that issue. my feet are often blue/purple though, and always if they are not propped up.theoretically though what you're describing - to some degree - seems possible if circulation/blood flow issues already exist as more blood has to assist in digestion. melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSM3KIDZ Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I do not experience this but in my GP website they talk alot abouy hr's and stuff upon eating and they call it "dumping syndrome" I don't know if the hands and feet turn purple, by try looking it up on line and see if it has anything to do with what your feeling.I just thought I'd suggest it but too tired to resesrch it to see if it fits.Good LuckDayna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliegee Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yep, this happens to me too. Today after lunch, as a matter of fact. I was shaking cold and my finger nail beds were dark purple. Weird. Not sure what it is. It doesn't always happen...Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
