Why palpitations occur during meal times?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Stress Response: Eating can sometimes trigger a stress response in the body, leading to increased heart rate and palpitations

Digestive System Activation: Digestion requires increased blood flow to the stomach and intestines, which can temporarily elevate heart rate and cause palpitations.

Food Sensitivities or Allergies: Certain foods or additives may trigger an allergic or sensitivity reaction in some individuals, leading to palpitations as part of the body's response.

Caffeine or Stimulant Intake: Consuming foods or beverages containing caffeine or other stimulants can cause palpitations as they stimulate the heart and nervous system.

Thanks
