Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You are reporting to have high heart rate and sweating several hours after eating.The most common cause of your symptoms are:
- sensitivity from foods that you have eaten (Can you tell me what you have eaten?)
- foods reached in carbohydrates and fatty,
- consumption of bad foods, mild food poising.

If your symptom still persist or you have diarrhea, fever and vomiting than you should go to ER to rule out food poising.
On the other hand if your symptoms has passed and you feel good now than you don't worry but you should avoid fatty and food reached in carbohydrates.

Wish you all the best

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Since I has that problem, 40 hours has passed. I do not feel hungry. I tried to eat something yesterday, but after eating very little I felt that I cannot ear anymore. It was very weird feeling that I wanted to eat but the body denied or I could not eat.

I can drink little amount of fluids every few hours, but eating it seems difficult.

I do feel little weak as 40 hours has passed away, since I eat.

I do not have acidity nor gas.

I will try eating today and see how I feel.

Please let me know if I need to be worried about anything or what could be causing this.

Thanks
doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Since it has passed 40 hours and you don't have diarrhea or vomiting than most probably it is not related with food sensitivity.

Most probably your symptoms seems to be due to a viral infection/ bad food with low appetite and fatigue.

Till now there is nothing to be worried.It will pass after a couple of days.
For the moment you can use :
- fresh fruits juice
- plenty of water
- vit C
- take rest

Wish you all the best
