How to reduce high heart beats? - #9658

Ioana

I get many times high heart rate (120 beats per minute, while not doing anything). I am allergic to some foods, so I am not sure if the trigger is from what I eat? As I have noticed that the beats increase after eating. I try to eat only cooked meals, no processed food and I try to avoid spicy food.

A consistently high heart rate, especially when not engaging in physical activity, can be concerning, particularly when it increases after eating. Since you have food allergies, it’s possible that certain foods are triggering this response. Allergic reactions can cause inflammation and stress in the body, which may lead to an elevated heart rate. Even mild reactions to certain foods, whether they be allergens, intolerances, or sensitivities, could contribute to this. It’s great that you’re avoiding processed and spicy foods, but you might want to further narrow down any specific foods that could be triggering your symptoms, possibly through an elimination diet or food allergy testing. Additionally, try to focus on smaller, well-balanced meals with easily digestible foods to avoid overstimulation of the digestive system. Managing stress, regular deep breathing exercises, and maintaining hydration can also help regulate your heart rate. It would be advisable to consult with your doctor, especially to rule out any underlying conditions like arrhythmias, thyroid issues, or an imbalance in electrolytes, and to discuss your allergy concerns for a more targeted approach to treatment.

It's interesting that you're experiencing a high heart rate, especially after eating. While it can be influenced by food, your situation might be connected to a few other things, not just diet. From an Ayurvedic point of view, high heart rates can sometimes be linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha. It might cause anxiety, stress or even irregular heart actions. I know you’re trying to be cautious about your diet, which is great! Since your sensitivity includes certain allergies, it's wise to keep a food diary — jot down what you eat and when your heart rate increases. This could help pinpoint specific triggers. Try sticking to a Pitta-pacifying diet, as this might also help balance excess Vata and calm your system. Consider including cooling foods: cucumber, cilantro, and coconut water. They can balance out heat and reduce heart rate. Also, avoid caffeine and limit sugar intake as they both can give a quick spike in heart rate. One crucial tip — eat slowly, chew thoroughly, and avoid overeating, as large meals can put stress on your heart. Don’t forget lifestyle plays a role here too. Regular mediation, or even just a few minutes of deep belly breathing, can calm down a racing heart. Try alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana) to balance your energies too. Gentle yoga poses, like forward bends and child's pose, can relieve tension. Sometimes an increased heart rate can indicate other health conditions. If it continues or worsens, definitely consult a healthcare professional. Monitoring your health is crucial — a quick checkup can rule out things like thyroid issues. Remember, Ayurveda believes in harmony and balance. It’s not just about managing diet but about connecting body, mind, and emotions. Keep on listening to your body and working with it, one step at a time!
