Why Do You Get Heart Palpitations After Eating? - Dr.Berg

[@laceyavron]

my dad is 101. 2 years ago he went to the doctor and told him his heart was skipping a beat. Doctor checked hi and decided he should see a specialist. As the wait was 2 months, my dad decided to take multi-vitamin pills and my the time he saw the specialist his heart was normal. Specialist told him to keep doing what he was doing and come back in 1 year for a checkup. He went back and the specialist gave him the all clear. easy peasy and he is still alive today

I spent days in hospital for angina with no reason before keto. Sent home with a bag of drugs. After a year I got my records back and the only thing off was low potassium that nobody even mentioned and I wasn't asked about nutrition at all . Thankyou Dr Berg thankyou keto. Goodbye drugs

Drugs are death.

This happened to my husband. He was diagnosed as Hypokalemic (was in the hospital's computer but he was never told about it). He was then sent home with a Diuretic and Metoprolol to 'treat' his high blood pressure. Over the course of another year his symptoms got much worse, heart cramps, leg cramps and bladder spasms (not to mention hair loss from Metoprolol). I did my research and found Dr. Berg's videos.... rest is history :-) He's off ALL pills and has normal blood pressure ever since at age 57. He also lost 90 lbs of fat.

What is keto?

[@lynnharrell9598]

@@aroojirfan3147, keto is short for ketosis. When glucose is drastically reduced from your diet, your body is forced to use ketones as a fuel source. Ketones are produced by the body in the absence of glucose, and puts you in a state of ketosis. Ketosis which is safe, is not to be confused with keto acidosis, which can be dangerous (this can occur if you have a medical condition that doesn’t allow your body to produce enough insulin). The keto diet can promote weight loss, improve acne, reduce risk of certain cancers, improve heart health, protect brain function, reduce seizures, improve PCOS symptoms, and reverse type 2 diabetes (and other benefits). Dr. Berg’s channel is full of information about the Keto diet, and there are many more sources available online. I wish you good health.

Bloating in the stomach causes stimulation of the vagus nerve to the heart and low blood pressure which causes artythmias, often from high carb dinners and msg, etc. Patients with bowel obstructions also get arrhythmia if they haven't had a bowel movement in several days and are plugged up.

[@johncordey2769]

There are two predominant causes of benign ectopics ...low magnesium is one ...this mineral goes hand in hand with potassium...people with low magnesium often have low potassium..people with low potassium often have low magnesium...deficiency in one causes deficiency in the other...and here's why this is so important... The heart muscle has the highest requirement in the body for magnesium ..especially magnesium taurate. Secondly the vagus nerve shares the same pathways to digestion system and heart...so bloating...or reaction to food will trigger a response..this is why emotional upsets like bereavement and relationship endings make people avoid eating...the emotions control things via the vagus nerve.

He's recommending keto, but doesn't mention how low sodium or salt-wasting can affect the balance of your electrolytes. Keto diets will cause your body to flush out more water, sodium and other electrolytes. Having low sodium can directly affect your levels potassium and magnesium, which can mess with your heart rhythm greatly. I used to get very frequent palps, but "ate healthy" and even took magnesium regularly (whic is often recommended for heart rhythm issues). What I didn't realize was that my low-refined-sugar diet was putting me in ketosis, which was flushing sodium, and not getting enough salt was causing my body to flush out electrolytes. My heart rate used to be higher at rest, and I'd get frequent PVCs. Adding a small pinch of salt to my glasses of water, and being a little more relaxed about salting my foods really helped. I highly recommend people check out: Dr. James DiNicolantonio. Keto has been great for me, but it can definitely cause problems with heart rhythm if you do it without considering your salt intake, problem is most doctors are very wary about telling you to get more salt because of absolutely garbage epidemiological "studies" and other unsubstantiated or flat out incorrect information they have been repeating for decades, just like with cholesterol and red-meat. All you have to do is look at what doctors recommend as the "ideal" diet, and then look at the rates of ALL chronic diseases have been doing since they started recommending these diets. Most doctors know NOTHING about proper nutrition, which makes sense since they aren't actually taught nutrition.

I was extremely ill during April 2020 and I'll never know if it was THE virus. But I've been for so many delayed tests and finally had a scan of my gallbladder this week. I was told that there was a polyp in one of the bile ducts, but it was nothing serious. I was also told that my pituitary hormone signal to my thyroid was low, while my thyroxine levels were high - but the numbers were just inside the normal range. However, I've been 18:6 fasting for 8 months and following a pretty strict Keto regime and as things have slightly improved, I would hazard a guess that my thyroid numbers would have been well outside the safe zone all those months ago. It's frustrating because the UK health system has all but collapsed while it deals with the plague, and I'm not sure whether I have a thyroid or a gallbladder issue - or both. I suppose I better hope that fasting and Keto fix me up in the long term. Oh, I was also told that I have an extra heartbeat thrown in for good measure - but that it was nothing to worry about.

[@thetruth2230]

It COULD be low potassium, but then it COULD be low magnesium. A magnesium deficiency can also cause heart palpitations and it’s probably best to take an electrolyte supplement rather than just potassium or just magnesium by themselves. Also, Dr. Berg skips over caffeine and alcohol consumption even though both of these can CAUSE a depletion of these essential minerals.

Brilliant! Sometimes when I eat certain foods I get these palpitations with headache and a tightness on the left side of my abdomen, which I thought was kidney stone movement. It could actually be from taking excess refined white rice with meals and causing pressure in my gall bladder. I avoid wheat as well as it makes me feel like crap also. I'm already feeling better by cutting down a lot on the white rice and substituting with potatoes.

I have PVC,s every day off and on, belching gas and tremors going from my stomach and heart, terrible feeling! I told my cardiologist what was going on, he said one has nothing to do with the other, but I know my body! He told me I have an abnormal heart beat, increased my atenolol,and put me on acid reducers, I still have the PVC,s when skip the acid pill....Dr Berg thank you for this video!

I drink purified water mixed with cream of Tartar which is loaded with potassium and Himalayan pink salt with 84 trace minerals through out the day. I feel great and have no hunger issues.

Thank you Dr. Berg, your work is greatly appreciated.

[@rhansen1969]

Almost everytime I eat commercial made bread I have heartburn. When I eat keto I have no problem. I do practice intermittent fasting, and have most of my life. I was not raised eating more than one or 2 meals a day, and thankfully my mother did not believe in snacks, so no chips, cookies, candy or soda. We mostly ate keto even though it wasn't called that. We literally never ate pasta or rice, bread was available to us, but I didn't like it much, and although we liked sweets they were a very rare treat. The point is we were all thin! When snacking and the low fat high carb diet became popular in the 1970's that's when people put on weight and started gaving health problems. If snack food and fast food companies were to go away, we would see a return to healthy lifestyles.

[@Boogan-D]

You are so correct. I was raised on a "government commodities diet." We were very poor. We (5 kids) would get a big box once a month down at the Armory. Two kids are dead, and we 3 survivors are now close to 70. So it wasn't so bad.

[@ronaldwoody8534]

I got rapid tachycardia and arrhythmias after consuming coconut oil and MCT's at the same time. Probably add a larger dose as well. No carbs involved! My heartbeat went up to between 150 and 185 experience no shortness of breath or tightness or pain which means given the stress test I must not have any ischemia! I took slow deep breath's and in 10 minutes to 15 minutes it slow down to about 90. I would also note that this occurred while I was sitting on the couch and I just noted feeling like my stomach flip-flopped before taking my Pulse. I did a search on it and this is indeed something that can happen!my solution was not to do MCT and coconut oil together and to make sure I used a lower dose.

[@mikewilliams2112]

I now balance my calcium, magnesium and potassium supplement intake. But when I was having heart palpitations I new it was an electrolyte imbalance. So, I noticed my magnesium to calcium ratio was incorrect( to much magnesium) and I backed down slightly on the magnesium and my heart palpitations, which are extremely annoying, went away!!!

Monitor what you eat taking notice of your potassium and Sodium levels as well. After menopause I was all of a sudden sensitive to sodium plus my hormones were all out of whack. So that’s a start for you monitor your blood pressure and write down what you eat and how much sodium and potassium is in each meal and see if you are overloading on those two.

This started happening to me after I started carnivore/ ketovore a weeks ago. (All carnivore at first but now adding a little veg/low carb seasonal fruit/or Greek yogurt sometimes at dinner.) I eat 2MAD. It got scary. Constant palpitations after eating as well as smaller 'skips" here and there througout the day. I was having a lot of diarrhea from not being able to digest the fat and meat. So I started taking digestive enzymes, Magnesium and electrolytes (ketochow and lmnt occasionally since lmnt contains stevia). I've only been taking these supplements a few days but the difference has been dramatic. The diarrhea stopped. The palpitations after eating stopped. I have felt one or two skips today. I wanted to go carnivore because I never lost weight on keto in the past. I did weeks of "chaffles"' bacon, and eggs and greens and Avocados but didn't lose. Carnivore felt great the first week or so! But carnivore depleted me of electrolytes in the second week even though I ate liver all last week. That's why I'm trying ketovore. This thing is still new to me and I'm trying so hard to figure it out but this video helped. I know I'm on the right track but may need to add some Avocado to my list of veggies!!

@Gazpacho Suave I drink a BPC in the morning, sometimes I'll have a decaf later if I feel like one, but I wouldn't recommend drinking them all the time. I find personally anyway that decaf still stimulates the feeling to drink multiple cups, and when you run out you might talk yourself into drinking some regular coffee when you don't really need it.
