What Is Dumping Syndrome?
6. Rapid Heart Rate
Some people might find that their heart rate increases noticeably just after they have eaten a big meal. Again, this is not necessarily something to be concerned about, provided the heart is not beating too quickly and that their blood pressure is kept within safe levels.
This symptom occurs quite often in patients that have dumping syndrome. Again, the influx of food directly into the small intestines can play havoc with blood sugar and chemical levels, and this can cause the heart to start racing. This can often be controlled by managing how much food you eat in any one sitting.
