A member asked:

Rapid heart rate after big meal and whenstand up to 110. whendrink water it comes down to 70s??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's OK: Your heart rate might rise when standing up after a meal and this is most often a normal response. It may also rise if you are a little dehydrated and improve once you rehydrate properly.

Is it possible for heart rate to hit 154 for 2 minutes and have shortness of breath then go back to normal during panic attack? This happened to me when I started to feel lightheaded while laying down. I had some water and felt better afterward?
