A member asked:
Is it normal for sugar to increase heart rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are a variety of reasons sugar can speed up the heart rate. It has immediate effects on metabolism (body energy usage), medium time and late effects. These are controlled through a variety of hormones and are normal. If the rate is change is a lot, you are having other symptoms or it is causing panic attacks especially in someone with anxiety disorder these are reasons to be checked.
