I'm noticing that my heart rate goes up whenever I eat eggs or meat, and it's a bit worrying because I've already consulted a cardiologist who said I don't have any heart problems. What could be causing this?

Increased heart rate after consuming certain foods like eggs or meat could be due to food sensitivities or allergies. In some cases, certain food additives or preservatives can also trigger such a response. To help manage this, you can try taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) at a dose of 10mg before consuming these foods. Additionally, you can also try avoiding these trigger foods to see if your symptoms improve.

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis for quite a while now, since 2006 actually, and allercet tablets have been my go-to, though sometimes I try flomist nasal spray. But honestly, it doesn't always work for me. I'm worried about using allercet long-term though could there be side effects? I keep waking up sneezing, with a runny nose and my eyes all itchy and red. Also, every time I take allercet, I feel really drowsy and sleepy. Is there an alternative treatment or maybe even a surgery option? I just want to have a normal day without these symptoms bothering me. Could you provide some guidance?
