A member asked:
Can eating a lot of food cause you to wake up at night with rapid irregular heartbeat when you're awake or is this more likely from extreme anxiety?

Can be either, both: Eating a lot can lead to stomach reflux wakenings during sleep. Anxious people are too aware of normal sensations a human experiences 24 hours a day. Normal people's brains filter out most normal sensations and only focus on abnormal sensations. For example, everyone has pulsations with heart beats. Most of us don't feel the normal pulsations, but anxious people may obsessively focus on them.

Possibly : The history. Is not detailed so one cannot support any specific answer But some people experience heart palpitation after eating, may last for minute or hrs. They are not generally dangerous , but my advice is to consult cardiologist for evaluation
