My resting rate is 80bpm but after I eat it goes up to 95-108 for an hour or so in the evening. I was very hungry when I ate. I had chili spaghetti and Ben and Jerry's Phish Food for dessert.

I have had the whole echo stress treadmill ekg thing done and it was all good.

Hello

your heart rate would go up after eating due to your body working harder to digest your food. It happens to me also and I have a very slow rested heart rate

yep mine does this sometimes after I eat especialy if its a big meal.I can feel it pounding in my chest.Usualy passes after a while.Alot of people with harmless PVC's get this often.Since your heart has checked out fine I would just try and tell myself its nothing to worry about,otherwise the worry may cause anxiety symptoms on top of the pounding heart beat.

Yep, I get this too. I usually only get heart palpitations after i eat a big meal. just happened to me today and i checked my pulse, it was 120!! I told my doctor once and she said not to worry about it, so i try not too. I hate feeling it though, thats what makes me worry!
