A member asked:

What causes bouts of tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) after eating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably unrelated: The tachycardia is probably unrelated to the act of eating per se, but may be related to what you've eaten, especially if your food contains any form of cardiac stimulant or you have a food allergy or intolerance. Unless it's occurring regularly, it's likely coincidence.
