The first thing you have to do is see a cardiologist and get a monitor so you and your doctor will know what is the nature of the palpitations that occur after you eat.
Cardiac palpitations are not uncommon after eating. The heart has to work harder during digestion because blood flow increases to the stomach and digestive tract. If palpitations are a problem, you can do several things. First, eat small meals, eat less sugar, avoid alcohol and tobacco. These are all factors which increase heart rate. If palpitations are occurring frequently, you should check with your physician.
