I get this too after eating too much. Or drinking too much. I’ve always contributed it to my stomach being to full and pushing up on the diaphragm. It subsides after I start to digest. Pots is usually a brisk increase in heart rate triggered after standing up from a lying position.

@JessieB Yes I also heard that that is triggered by changing position but I m scared to have it I guess is my ocd I will have to sit with this discomfort ;/

I get a racing heart after eating that started about halfway through my pregnancy and has continued even though I’m 18 months postpartum. I have not been able to figure out any reason why even with all my googling. What is POTS?? I’ve seen some thing but now I’m worried I have it. I notice it mostly when I eat a lot of carbs or sugar

@TaylorFroe I think is cause by gassy stomach and acid reflux specially after a big meal but today I saw a video on tiktok where someone said pots can also cause it and freaked me out you should go to the doctor and check just to make sure The symptoms of POTS include but are not limited to lightheadedness (occasionally with fainting), difficulty thinking and concentrating (brain fog), fatigue, intolerance of exercise, headache, blurry vision, palpitations, tremor and nausea.

@TaylorFroe Try to no eat big meal through the day but small one wait 30 minutes then continue to eat more specially if they are greasy food don’t lay down right away after eating your last meal should be 3 hours before bed time to avoid acid reflux try this see if it help I been to the doctor and they don’t think I have it but still scary I was referred for the till table test but I denied because that test is so stressful

hyper aware
the past couple days i am like hyper aware of my chest and my heartbeat and i don’t know why. i don’t think anything specific triggered it. but i keep making myself think my heart isn’t beating right when i’m almost positive it’s fine and it’s just my anxiety. can something have triggered it without me even realizing it? like something i saw on social media or a tv show? does this happen to anyone else?
