Breathing

Hi

I’m a little confused

I get out of breath sometimes while I eat . I don’t eat fast I always sit to eat .

I don’t have food allergies

Is this normal ?

[Hidden]

No that doesnt sound normal unless your nose is stuffy and you can only breath thru your mouth. You probably need to call your doc and discuss.

Thank you x

Yes it's normal for me. I sometimes get very hot as well. It's as if my heart can only deal with the digesting and my temperature control goes haywire and my heart rate goes up. I have learned not to panic and to use a small table top fan if needs be.

Thanks what a relief someone else feels it too x

[Barb1 in reply to Hidden]

Yes. Forgot to say I also find it fatiguing to talk and eat and definitely cant walk and eat! I'm not even in AF at the moment.

I occasionally experience this also and, like you, I do not eat fast and I always sit when I eat. I don’t know why it happens and I have to stop until it passes. I take sips of cold water which seems to help. It doesn’t occur every time.

Thank you .

I’m glad I’m

Not alone in this one .

I’d be interested to hear which medication were all on ?

For me it’s Bisoprolol and Amias. Soon up start Ant coagulants x

The medication I am currently on is for high blood pressure, nothing for AF. I am taking Losartan and Felodipine. I have always thought that the symptoms I experience when eating are attributable to a transient episode of AF occurring at that time – but because it doesn’t happen with every meal I have never established a reason why.

I only have what you describe when I am in full flutter or AF, its exhausting!
