A member asked:
Could palpitations after eating be due to hyper insulinism?my blood glucose always drops next with also cold chills and i turn pale and purple

Yes: You list severe reactive hypoglycemia in your conditions so this applies to you, not to everyone: excess insulin stimulates a catecholamine response. In other words, it stimulates secretion of adrenalin. Adrenalin can, in fact, precipitate extra beats in susceptible people. So it is possible.
