My heart beat faster after i had an orange. why? is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heartbeat & Oranges: Rapid intake of sugar, as occurs after eating a sweet orange, causes an Insulin spike that makes the blood sugar level drop quickly. The heart becomes metabolically stressed, causing Epinephrine release, which increases heart rate. Low glycemic index foods release sugar slower, so this effect is limited and not as noticeable.
