Severe palpitations if I eat after exercise/sometimes after exercise no food
Posted , 3 users are following.
If i exercise or eat after exercising(exercise=walking 30 minutes) I get severe strong back to back palpitations for an hour. I have no choice but to lay down when it happens. Laying down helps them go away. If i sit back up, they come right back.
This started directly after birth, 3 years ago. I gained 80lbs during pregnancy, I've lost 40 of it. i was a previous heavy smoker but I'm only 28 now and quit for 3 years now. I had to have a lot of antibiotics at birth, and i took a lot of advil. I was also anemic. My iron is currently normal but my ferritin is somewhat low. Not many doctors will believe low ferritin is an issue so I dont know if that could be a reason or not. I also have a history of bulimia. So i wonder if i could have a hiatial hernia from the weight plus bulimia. I'm not sure if it would cause severe palpitations after exercise though.
If anyone could please please help me figure this out it would be greatly appreciated. I had an echo done a few months after birth and it was normal. Its been 3 years now and I'm getting a stress echo in december, but it will probably be normal.
electrolytes and blood/thyroid all normal. I did breastfeed up until 4 months ago, but its been so long that I'm ruling hormones out.
Its really ruining my life because I'm afraid to even go to the grocery store as it sometimes sets it off. Cant take my son anywhere, cant carry him. Using arm strength really sets it off.

Ask your doctor about taking ferrous sulphate tablets and vitamin c spray to see if they think it is a good idea. It maybe a good idea to get your vitamin and mineral levels checked as well. If you haven't had one already ask for a d-dimer blood test.
