What Causes Palpitations With Breathing Difficulty?

I am 31 years old, overweight nearly 30 kilos extra to my age. Past two weeks i feel like my heart is beating very fast, mostly after my dinner (the only real food i take) , which i take only by 10.30 or so, due to work. I think that my pulse rate is 88 per minute and beats faster than that after my dinner. I dont have nausea, but feels a slight difficulty in breathing after my dinner, when my heart beats faster. Please help me with an advice and suggestion.

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to abdominal extension or postprandial hypotension.

I would recommend some tips to help avoid this clinical situation:

- avoid large and hypercaloric food
- eat more frequently in small amounts during the day
- perform a lot of physical activity (walking, aerobics, etc.)
- try to lose some pounds as overweight can trigger this situation.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
