Each time I have lunch, I notice my heart starts beating faster than normal. This happens only after eating food. I am a 53 year old female with a history of thyroid problems. I want to know the reason. Why does my heart beat so fast after eating?

Fast heartbeat after meals is called postprandial tachycardia and can occur due to increased blood flow for digestion. It may be more noticeable if meals are heavy, spicy, or high in sugar. Thyroid imbalance can also contribute to this symptom. Eat smaller, balanced meals and avoid caffeine and sugary drinks with meals. You can book a Thyroid Profile and ECG to check thyroid status and heart rhythm if it continues.

View allI just received my TSH blood test report, and the result is less than 0.05 mIU/L. Could you please advise whether this is dangerous or if it is normally treatable?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
The latest thyroid test report shows T3 91.05 ng/dl, T4 10.20 microgram/dl, and TSH 0.950 microIU/ml. She was taking 125 mg Thyronorm tablets until the latest test report on 8th September. The tablet was initially recommended when TSH was 7.17 microIU/ml. Since the levels are now normal, can the medication be stopped or should the dose be reduced?
