Angelika_23 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Sorry if there is already a thread on this. I did a search but didn't find anything.I am noticing that in the past couple days my HR goes way up after I eat a meal. I just ate a bowl of rice and veggies. And drank some water. Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do about it?I am also on my monthly cycle, so I didn't know if that has anything to do with it.Thanks,Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yes, this is generally my most problematic symptom. Increasing fluids can help. Also eating smaller, protein rich, low sugar meals. I take a beta blocker as needed. Otherwise, I would love to get some tips as well.

Guest tearose Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Me too, I have to eat smaller more frequent meals or I will have increase in heart rate. I also find it harder to think after a meal or drive....I may need to nap if I ate too heavy.tearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 There are certain foods that trigger a tachy episode for me. Milk, sugar, and ham are my worst triggers. Also, if I do too many combinations of foods then my hr will increase more than if I just eat one type of food, or eat in small meals/snacks throughout the day. Small meals, snacks, and avoiding trigger foods helps me to reduce the tachycardia after meals. Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom4cem Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Mine does also and I do pretty much the same as the others, small meals, low carb/starches and drink water. I have particular trouble with certain canned soups, guessing it is addititives or the like in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia3 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 http://www.merck.com/mmhe/sec03/ch023/ch023d.htmlThis link explains in a nutshell post prandial hypotension. Hope this helps. Low carb/higher protein ratio meals can help..and smaller meals with snacks in between can help, too.This is very common in many of us.I tried to google splachnic shunting and could not find the article I needed..I think I am mis spelling a word. A woman at another site 12 years ago used to really be able to explain this stuff. VERY COMMON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
