Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms could be related to
anxiety.
Besides, after a large meal, the stomach distention can cause elevation of the diaphragm leading to skipped heart beats or palpitations.
Anyway, considering the fact that this phenomena is repeating frequently, I would recommend performing some tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes:
- a resting ECG and a cardiac
ultrasound to examine your heart function and structure
- a chest X ray study for possible hiatal hernia that may trigger this symptoms
-
complete blood count for anemia
-
thyroid hormone levels for possible dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible
cardiac arrhythmia.
If all the above tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about! It may be just a little anxiety.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
