How Should Heart Palpitations And Skipped Heart Beats Be Diagnosed And Treated?
Shortly after eating or drinking something I start having my heart start skipping beats and beating harder than normal. This normally happens when I am sitting or laying down and resting. Sometimes it get bad enough that I get a little short of breath and the lower back of my head starts with a head ache. This normally lasts about 3 to 5 minutes but sometimes can go on for several hours. Scary!

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of post-prandial hypotension. I recommend performing a head up tilt test and checking complete blood count for anemia. In the meantime, I recommend avoiding large and hypercaloric meals and trying to eat more frequently in small portions.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
