Can food trigger Atrial Fibrillation?

Posted by admin
Aaron asked:


Anyone experience the following symptoms after eating meals:
Racing heart (palpitations), PVCs (premature ventricular contractions), bloated feeling in mid-section (above stomach), nausea/queasiness, diarrhea, fatigue, anxiety?

Last month I felt this way after eating, and all of a sudden I got dry heaves and my heart suddenly “jumped” into an arrhythmia while I was trying to throwup. Doctors said it was a very “chaotic” episode of atrial fibrillation. My heart finally converted to a normal sinus rhythm after enduring a long, 18-hour ordeal. Now after everytime I eat anything, or drink anything, I almost start to feel this way again and it depresses me. I eat very little throughout the day because of it. It doesn’t matter what I eat or drink either. From drinking alot of water, to eating an apple, to eating fast food, to whatever, I still get this way. Don’t ’spose anyone else has a similar experience?
Very interesting, patsy. I also find that if I sit for extended periods of time, my stomach feels unusually compressed and tight, as if my stomach is pushed “upwards” into my mid-section, also feels like I have alot of belching to do, but can’t, and my heart tends to skip and race during this, and of course if I eat, it makes it worse..I can definitely see the connection of a possible hiatal hernia causing my A-Fib episodes.Thanks for your insight
