What Causes Heart Racing After Dinner?
Over the last few days I noticed my heart racing after dinner anywhere from 100 to 115 bests per min. I thought it was from drinking coke so I had a sprite tonight instead.. but I still had an increased heart rate for about three hours after dinner. What could be causing this?

Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Heart rate increasing after dinner could be due to autonomic dysfunction. Check your blood sugar before and 02 hours after dinner. Autonomic neuropathies affecting the cardiovascular system in Diabetes can cause a resting tachycardia .
