Has anyone experienced hard rapid heart rate? I'm wondering if I may be low on some Vitamin or something. My blood pressure is fine but I feel horrible. Lightheaded and just plain yuck. My resting heart rate is 87 right now and it feels like it is pounding. Im 5 months post op and haven't had any problems. This has been going on for about a week.

My surgery date was 4/27/15 and I feel the same way at times. I'm anxious to hear the replies

Dehydrated?

Hi there I just went through the same issue . I'm almost 4 weeks out and it started when I was two weeks out. I literally feel like I weigh 1000 lbs doing the simplest of things would make my heart race. I went to see my dr I had an ekg and they placed a 48 hour heart monitor . All my blood work came back fine and he said my body is probably just out of shape after surgery and any light work is a lot for me now . But not sure about that become sometimes I'll just be sitting there and my Heart feels like it's going to pop out of my chest . I also and curious what others have to say .

Rapid heart rate and dizziness could be a sign of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), specifically reactive hypoglycemia. Symptoms occur generally within 4 hours after a meal.

When you ingest too much sugar, your now smaller stomach does not digest it properly so your intestines absorb and deposit too much of it into your blood stream. Your body compensates by releasing more insulin which makes your blood sugar drop.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I've been wrapping gifts today so the exertion would not be the reason. I'm a teacher and stand/walk/squat all day everyday. Today was relaxing actually. I didn't eat a meal either. I had a sausage patty a couple hours after my morning protein shake. That's all I had eaten when this started today. It's not the first time it has happened and I was just wondering if it was something that anyone else had experienced. It lasted a couple hours today. It's not usually that long.

Dehydration or dumping syndrome
