What Causes Palpitations And Irregular Heart Rate?
Hello, my name is Joe. I am writing to ask if you know why my heart flutters and skips beats about 20 minutes after I eat fatty foods such as eggs w/ yolk or olive oil on toast? For example, this morning I ate a turkey and cheese sandwich and two pieces of toast w/ garlic and extra virgin olive oil. About 20 minutes later, my heart flutters like you wouldn't believe. Thank you, Joe

After going through your medical details, I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that heart rate is ever changing phenomena depending on your physical activity , emotional stress or physical changes in the body. Spicy food can trigger palpitations, so avoid spicy and fried food and sometimes after meals your blood pressure decreases. Kindly eat healthy. Avoid spicy, junk and caffeinated beverages to avoid such symptoms. Also get an ECG to check if you any arrhythmic disorder.
