Why heart beats faster after eating? - #12337

Aasha

I am really curious about this thing that's happening to me. Like, every time I eat a meal, my heart seems to race a bit, and I'm not sure why heart beats faster after eating! I mean, it doesn’t feel dangerous, just like my heart is working harder or something. I thought maybe it was the food I was eating? Sometimes I have carbs and other times more protein, but it doesn't seem to matter. The other day, I had a pretty big lunch, and my heart felt like it was doing a mini workout! It's kind of alarming because I’d expect my heart rate to chill after eating, you know? I did a little research, but nobody really explains why heart beats faster after eating, and I wanna know if it's a normal thing or if something's up. I even checked my blood pressure at home, and it was fine, but I can't shake the feeling of unease. Does this happen to other people, too? What could be going on? Should I change what I'm eating or what? Ugh, I'm just a bit worried. Please help!
