What Causes Palpitations With Tightness In Chest Post Intake Of Processed Food?

I don t typically eat processes food, however I just had lunch with my boss at a sketchy Vietnamese place. I instantly felt pressure in my head, I could feel my heart pounding in my head and tightness in my chest. I understand physiologically why this happened, but I want to know if my symptoms are dangerous and should be addressed.

Hello,

Processed food is not healthy. It has a high level of artificial ingredients, trans fat, high sugar, refined carbs, chemical flavoring agents, msg, color & low nutritional value.

Processed food often triggers food allergy, food poisoning, abdominal bloating, gastritis, heart palpitations, chest tightness, etc.

Processed food should not be taken regularly as it may cause cardiovascular diseases, coronary artery disease , neurological problems, etc.

You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP. You may need urgent medical care & support orally or intravenously. Get all blood & imaging tests done. Get treated at the earliest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
