Heart palpitations whenever I eat
Hi, I’ve tried to google why this might be but i can’t find anything useful and i want to figure out if it’s normal or expected before i book an appointment with a doctor.
I’ve noticed for the past week or so that i begin experiencing heart palpitations almost only when I’m eating food. It’s the kind where you feel like your heart is fluttering. Also, I’m getting more frequent “high heart rate” notifications on my Apple Watch - don’t know if that is accurate however but thought I’d mention. It’s really annoying and quite scary actually whenever this happens, i feel like my heart is about to stop.
I’m 19F and i do want to add that I’ve been struggling recently with an eating disorder that involves frequent self induced vomiting. Sorry if that isn’t relevant but i know this can lead to heart issues so thought id mention. I am currently a normal BMI but have lost significant weight recently, i was in the overweight BMI category at the start of February.
Keeping this in mind i am 100% sure the heart palpitations while eating are NOT to do with anxiety about the food.
Would be really grateful if someone could advise me whether this is serious or not.
