> OK, my heart just started beating fast after eating a whole bunch of junk food (burger, chips and a giant chocolate bar).
This is normal after having a big meal or one that raises blood sugar.
It takes more blood shunted toward the GI tract in order to digest food. Also for the liver to process sugar.
If your heart rate exceeds 120, I would be concerned.
Stay away from excess sugar and refined carbohydrates.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
