It is possible and normal. It could be caused by the inflammation in your GI system, or perhaps your medication. your medication or it also could be caused by the inflammation. It additionally could be caused by any stress or anxiety you are having (common when going through a stressful situation). Take comfort in the EKG results. It is a pretty accurate test. Continue to work with your doctors. However, having had this same reaction most of my life due a heart condition, I can say that it was for sure triggered and intensified by the gastritis. And according to my cardio, GI and GP- perfectly normal.

Best of luck, Breathe deep and just try to relax. It will help, I promise.

Thank you for the positive words, Ravenfish! Have a wonderful holiday, and I'll calm down and take comfort in your words and the EKG results.

Oh I definitely have this sensation in the heart - but it passes pretty quickly. Just makes you nervy at the time.

Hi and welcome,
I had that in the early stages when my anxiety levels were through the roof. Now that has subsided. Breathe as raven said and do your best to be relaxed while eating. Believe me I know this is easier said than done. Many times I ate through tears in those first horrid months but I'd listen to my relaxation cd with every meal and it nursed me over the line. Hang in there it will get better and easier to manage.

I had the same sensation. I was sure I was heading for a heart attack. I was sent for tests for reassurance. My Dr actually told me that sometimes the pain of gastritis is more severe than childbirth (I beg to differ on this one after having 5 kids) and it was anxiety over the condition which was creating this feeling.

Hope you are feeling better :-)

anxiety is a dangerous to us as a bad food reaction and I know, we all know how hard it is in the early stages. Find anything at all that can help you to relax especially when eating. It might be a case of fake it till you make it.

And if that doesn't work, get to a doctor and let them know things are getting a bit out of control. It is much better to have treated anxiety that is getting increasingly worse, than untreated. Especially to help out the old GI tract

My heart sometimes races after I eat. I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and had to wear a holter monitor on two different occasions. On both occasions the monitor picked up tachycardia (increased heart rate) and it was always after a meal. It used to freak me out but no longer does. I sometimes feel skipped beats too if my acid reflux flares up. My cardiologist told me that is common and not harmful to your heart.

It is a normal for your heart condition. There is so much blood flow that goes through the central core of a our bodies, that it can easily effect the heart (as in be felt), especially if there is inflammation. As for your condition- check out the American Heart Association website. They offer some great tips and a lot of information. It has been a great resource to me all of my life. (They best news is you are probably on a pretty healthy diet because of the gastritis- which only helps all the more with your condition!) Best of luck and good wishes.

Ravenfish, you never cease to amaze me, you should set up your own surgery, if you want a secretary, I'll volunteer. You can always be counted on can't you. Good on you matey. x

No surgery needed. I think I have had more than enough of doctor's in my life. LOL! It really is just knowledge based on a lot of question asking, research and personal experience.

yep happens to me all the time, ive had every heart test imaginable. usually happens when i eat sometimes randomly when my stomach is upset. Sometimes its not just fast heart rate but rather i can feel every beat more clearly. oddly enough i fell the palps more when my stomach is not that upset and my appetite is rather good

Hello I'm also feel like heart pulpit action at night and after meal. I visited a doctor and they said u have h pylori infection and taken kit. Now it's getting worsen at night. Visited cardiologist and 2d echo ecg, thyroid test, blood test, sugar, blood pressure, everything is normal. Is there anything can I do with this. I cannot sleep at night time. Feel like cry myself. Does gastritis is the problem?

Raghuss,
Try broccoli, greenbean, asparagus soup for your dinner for few days. oatmeal for breakfast and green smoothies for lunch. Nothing more, nothing less. It would definitely help.
