default
Posted on Mon, 23 May 2016
Question: Wednesday night I had an incident that felt like an insulin reaction (got real hot a little dizzy). I noticed my heart rate was up, I had a warm feeling in my chest and tingling in my arm. I am having the warm sensation and tingling again heart rate isn't high. I am finding this happens after eating spicy foods but I'm scared. Any thought?

Hello,

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

There seems to be a problem with you stomach, in stomach upset such problems are common.
Burning specially after meals id due to stomavh upset this can cause nausea apprehension and feeling of lethargy weakness as well.

I will advice you the following plan of management of your issue

1) Don't use fizzy drinks, spicy food, sour food, alcohol, cheese, junk food,cigarette(what ever applies).
2) Use fibre containing food, you can use fibre supplements and whole fibre supplement.
3) Use syp gaviscon specially after a spicy meal.
4) I would also prescribe my similer patients capsule omeprazole 40mg a day .
5) Don't sleep immediately after dinner there should be a gap preferably two hours.

Things should be fine... do not panic there seems to be nothing wrong.

I hope this answered your question, a
