instruction: hi doctor for the past four weeks I have had terrible heart palpitations shortness of breath and bouts of fatigue a thing I have started to notice is it seems to get much worse after eating anything with carbohydrates after I eat the symptoms ramp up in 30 minutes to one hour I can exercise without any issues I am years old and this has never happened to me before I went to the hospital one week ago who confirmed my heart was racing and temperature slightly up but standard blood tests came back normal and there was nothing on a chest ray where do I go from here will this stop many thanks
output: hi fever causes a faster heart rate another reason which is not uncommon in young people is vagal atrial fibrillation this is an irregular fast heartbeat that occurs in bouts after eating and during resting and spontaneously revert back what did your egg show was it only sinus tachycardia or rhythm problem such as atrial fibrillation fever usually causes sinus tachycardia which is a normal response to fever when fever subsides the heart rate slows down sometimes it occurs due to gastrointestinal problems in which eating leads to insulin gush which lowers blood sugar and sensation like blackout weakness palpitations and fatigue develop chances of this are very low please send me the egg strip so that I may diagnose your rhythm blood tests that might be helpful include abc complete blood count e urea and electrolytes ash thyearoid stimulating hormone and the egg these are also some rare disorders that cause a sudden rise in heart rate fever shortness of breath and very high blood pressure this condition is called pheochromocytoma but it is extremely rare please tell me the other symptoms you develop along with fast heart rate feelings and fever this along with the above tests will guide to reach a diagnosis if the above tests are normal I will advise you to have hotter monitoring done for 24 48 hours to catch fast heart rhythm if not caught on egg regards
