Question 1

Accepted Answer

Potentially: It is an antihistamine and that is a known side effect. Stop taking it and discuss with your doctor.

Question 2

can dysautonomia cause tachycardia (up to 185) and lightheadedness after eating heavier meals?

Accepted Answer

Not normally: Tachycardia is not normally associated with meals.  Dysautonomia related to digestion and eating is bloating, indigestion, and intolerance of larger meals.

Tachycardia in dysautonomia is more often related to standing after lying down - orthostatic hypotension.

Need Morre thorough: THis Tachy up to 180bps need more complete eval. SVT, HYPERthyroid , OSA and Even Anxiety are potential causes of Tachy. 1st we look for Common beasts and when none found, THEN we look for the more rare ZEBRAS in the forrest. Never start out looking for the ZEBRA, (unusually Unlikely).

Question 4

what causes sinus tachycardia, dizziness, and rhythm changes when standing, after eating a meal, and after waking up? ekg and echocardiogram normal

Accepted Answer

Hypovolemia: Most likely relative dehydration to some degree. There is enhanced blood flow to the gut after a meal. This means the same blood volume has to supply more to the gut leaving slightly less elsewhere. This can exacerbate borderline dehydration leading to compensatory higher heart rate and occasional symptoms.   Try drinking more water as an initial step especially in the summer heat.

Question 9

is decaf green tea lipton with tea bags low in acid meaning won't cause acid reflux i got lpr. i can't drink water with meals ?

Accepted Answer

DGL is used to: help with acid reflux and is safe.  It is a licorice product found in health food stores.  If you take licorice that is not DGL, over time it can raise your blood pressure.  Please consult w/your doc.  Peace and good health. Decaf is often made using chemicals that are not good for you.  Food intake is a partial cause for reflux but not the entire picture.

Question 10

why do i experience tachycardia after supper and sometimes other meals and in the am upon wakening?

Accepted Answer

Heart recording: An accurate diagnosis of your heart's activity would shed a lot of light on your symptoms. A 24 hour (holter) recording would be very valuable.  You should keep a diary during the recording and write down what you're feeling - then depress the event button on the recorder to mark the time when you're feeling the symptoms. Significance and treatment (if indicated) hinge on your precise rhythm.
