Hi,
When your stomach bloats, it press to diaphragm and there is a reflex, which causes tachycardia in this case. In some people even arrhythmias can happen.
Actually it is not dangerous. There is nothing to worry.
The only thing I would advise you try to eat with small portions, don't use liquids with meal to avoid bloating.
Wishing you good health
