stomach/heart issue

Hey everyone. So I know this is an anxiety forum & not a GI one..but was curious if anyone else gets this/knows what it is.
So this doesn't happen all the time after I eat..but lately i've been getting it a lot. Even of I just have a normal size meal..afterwards I feel super uncomfortably full..like my upper stomach is super bloated. Also my heart will pound (not always super fast but like hard) also get a lot of skipped beats/just an irregular rhythm feeling. The fullness feeling lasts for hours. I do belch a lot..and I also sometimes eat too fast and food gets stuck in my esophagus, and sometimes I have to vomit to unlodge it. It scared me today because I ate then my heart started going crazy..had a skipped beat then got dizzy quick..now I feel like I have a serious heart issue going on & am freaking out :/

Hey Gmoon,

Trust me on this, this same exact thing happened to me one year ago. I wasted a whole year freaking out thinking there was something wrong with my heart. My stomach did that same thing to me post partum. I had my baby in January 2014 and then suddenly in February I started getting skipped beats in my heart, and then in March my stomach started acting just like you just wrote.

It has been over 1 year and things are so much better. I can eat anything, though I enjoy to keep it healthy, and my stomach finally digests stuff easily again. I'm pretty sure it's anxiety related, but there is definitely something not working right in the belly, regardless.

I recommend smaller healthy meals, and taking a walk or chewing gum after eating!

Hope this helps! :)

Well, I tried a MILLION things to make it stop. I'm not sure if any of them ever really solved the problem. They did make it easier, like chewing gum if I accidentally ate too much at a meal, walking after a meal (and slow deep breaths while walking) I also eliminated ALL unhealthy foods for quite a long time and I chewed my food more than usual.

Have you ever taken an Epsom salt bath? I literally felt my belly start digesting food again during my first Epsom salt bath. It was amazing. I started taking them once a week after that. Totally helped!

Sorry that's a LOT of info, but the only other thing that helped was sleeping slightly elevated. Alleviates the pressure on the esophagus and reduces the night time palps.

Hope this helps!

I get heart pounding and fast pulse after eating , even if I have a large HEALTHY meal my heart will still go fast , so I eat super small meals and I don't eat red meat it seems worse after the red meat , no coffee no soft drinks , water water water :), I eat small meals and it's seems much better after small light meals.
Since fast pulse is my trigger for panic attacks , when we go out to dinner with my falimy I don't even eat beause I want to enjoy the time with them not panic over my pulse after eating , it's that bad :(
It's horrible I know how you feel , hopefully you find something that helps you , sorry I wasn't much help :/ just wanted to share my experience with papls and eating .
