Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
First of all,it would be better if you can tell me what blood work has been to you which all came normal.
The causes of increasing heart rate (tachycardia) after eating certain foods could be anxiety or stress or orthostatic tachycardia syndrome which can also be triggered by eating certain foods like refined carbohydrates,white flour.
You must go to physician or cardiologist to check your EKG,2D Echocardiography of heart to rule out any heart pathology.
There are many causes to your dizziness,however, I would like to have more of your medical history and information like,
1) have you checked your blood pressure while you having an episode of dizziness?
2) have you experienced dizziness after eating anything special food?
3) are the episodes common throughout the day or certain moments?
If your blood pressure comes normal,then, it might be because of disturbances in the middle ear like labyrinthitis or spondiloarthritis.
So, I' would suggest you to consult with ENT specialist and neurologist.
Thanks and Regards,
