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.

I had a missed miscarriage 3 months ago. I have attached my report. Will I need to take any medicine now as we have already started trying to conceive? My gynecologist says to take medicine for 2 months. Please suggest?

Hello Sir/Mam, I need your suggestions. Today I checked my full body blood report, including lipid profile, liver, B12, D3, thyroid, CBC, and sugar. I have been suffering from thyroid issues for a long time, and my report shows the results. Apart from this, I see a few other counts, like lymphocytes, are not normal. Please suggest. I have been having the following symptoms for a long time: extreme fatigue and dizziness all day, especially in the morning?
