A member asked:
Is it normal after eating for your heart to beat faster by about 20 beats a min?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart rate: after eating some of the blood flow shifts to the intestine to foster digestion and absorption, this can be associated with a heart rate increase depending on the hemodynamics in play in the individual
