Brief Answer:
Foods&bradychardia trigger extra heart beats
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear XXXXXXX
I have run your results and could say that your extra heart beats are being triggered by:
- low cardiac frequency (bradychardia)
- foods you eat that cause dyspepsia
So, it depends on the foods you eat during each meal and how much they cause
hyperacidity of the stomach and gas and bloatness to your intestines.
Such bloatness will extent the abdominal wall putting pressure into the chest and cardiac cavity giving a signal to the heart which will work faster (palpitations or extra heart beat you experience).
In other words, foods such as chocolate, spicy foods or citrus can cause high acidity of the stomach precipitating/aggravating gastritis/dyspepsia.
This will further trigger extra systoles to you. So, if you avoid such foods and drinks and
smoking or alcohol, then, you won't have problems with stomach and less or no extra heart beat at all.
Now, with regards to sleeping, it is normal for the
heart rate to be low when sleeping (bradychardia). This is also triggering extra heart beats explaining the high extra heart beats when sleeping.
It is also normal for the heart rate to get below the resting ranges (such as 42 or less) when sleeping.
When you turn quickly or movement suddenly your torso or stretching, then, you will have palpitations as a reaction of the heart to the quick and sudden movement. So, I'd advise not to move or try to catch things quickly and suddenly but take your time in order to avoid palpitations.
So, you must focus on foods you eat, speed you eat and do movements in order to avoid triggering of extra heart beats or palpitations.
All the best!
