What Causes Fast Heart Beats After Eating?
Hello! Welcome on HCM! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to post prandial hypotension. For this reason, I would recommend measuring your blood pressure before and after each meal. A head Up Tilt test would help investigate for possible orthostatic intolerance, which is closely related to post-prandial hypotension. Some tips to help improve your situation would be: - avoid large meals - try to eat more frequently and in small meals - avoid hyper-caloric food - perform a lot of physical activity. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards, Dr. Iliri
