I am 74 years old, I have had four episodes of my heart pounding when I start to eat dinner, if i continue to eat my heart will beat faster then begin to beat irrugular, if i continue to eat when it statrts to beat irrugular , then it seems like my heart will start all kinds of beats, I almost past out from one the episodes, when I have the attacts it last about two hours or less, te irrugular beats will stop after about 5 minutes, I have been to a heart Doctor, took all the test, everthing ok, My Doctor told me it was just a coincidence that eating would cause this problem I know this is not true, eating does cause this problems, I have small episodes when I eat my heart will start to pound then stop, I have no other problem with this unless I eat. I need your opinion also. I do not take anykind od medication, except Maalox Acid Refux, I am in good health active everday
Hi, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to possible cardiac arrhythmia. For this reason, I would recommend performing some tests in case you have not performed them yet: - complete blood count for anemia-blood electrolytes for possible imbalance-thyroid hormone levels in order to investigate for thyroid gland dysfunction- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
