Does anyone else get tachycardia after meals?


For the past couple of months, I have found that I get tachycardia and some PVC's either during or after a meal.
I haven't seen a doctor about this. Has anyone else experienced this and been to a physician to learn about potential causes?

And I thought I was the only one to have this...

I often get tachycardia and palpitations after meals.

I have GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). GERD can contribute to tachycardia and irregular heartbeats. The explanation is rather long, but involves acid stimulation of esophageal nerves, which causes esophageal spasm. You can have GERD without significant indigestion, heartburn, or pain; in fact, some sufferers only have occasional hoarseness. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gerd/DS...

How do I know the tachycardia and palpitations aren't cardiac related? A cardiologist did an echocardiogram and attached a Holter Monitor (a 24-hour EKG) to me and found no disease or damage.

A hiatal hernia http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hiatal-... may also cause similar symptoms.

You may want to see your physician to discuss GERD, hiatal hernia, and cardiopathy (heart problems). You don't mention your age, weight, fitness level, medications, and health problems, all of which can affect what's happening, but for symptoms like yours you shouldn't wait more than 3 weeks before seeking medical advice.

I get this too and know no one else who does. It's maddening.
