Heart going crazy after I eat???

Does anyone have the problem that after they eat ( doesn't matter what type of food or how much/little of it is eaten) their heart rate goes up to realllllly fast. I have this problem for a few months but it is getting so bad now that I get breathless, dizzy, feel like I am going to pass out, I shake like crazy and just don't feel good all over. I have called my  dr but he wasn't in so I left a message for him to call me back but of course he hasn't done that yet. I was just wondering if anyone else has/had this problem and if they have any idea what causes it.

Thanks

Hi Davina,
    I wish I had some words of wisdom, but I don't.  I just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you and will say a prayer for you.     Mag

Thank you...I finally got to talk to my dr. He has ordered a ct scan so I will hopefully find out what is going on by next week. I appreciate your comment and prayer

It sounds alot like the palpations that could come with dumping, but if it happens with everything, I doubt seriously that is what it is. I am glad your doc got back in touch with you! Best of luck in getting this resolved, and please keep us posted!

Hoping for a quick fix to this problem. You should feel satisfied after eating, not like crap. Let us know what your MD thinks.

Thanks Kathy, I had a CTscan done and all is fine inside.. Dr. thinks that it might be  a new dumping symptom so he has me wait an entire hour after I eat to drink.. this is really hard, I had a hard time with 30 mins.. and there is no difference so he will have to figure out what else it can be. My heart doesn't race after every meal anymore but still after certain ones so I have to write down when it does it, after what type of food and such. Will update if I get a more informed answer:) 

Hugs
