If a person experiences arrhythmia after lunch or dinner, then this is an alarming sign.
You shouldn't think that this is a heart pathology.
Most often this is a sign of a gastrointestinal disease.
Cardiologist Olga Savonina spoke about this, writes Moscow 24 .
She noted that it is important to monitor changes in your condition.
If problems begin after eating, then you need to be examined not only by a cardiologist, but also by a gastroenterologist, and you should also undergo a gastroscopy to rule out the presence of a hernia of the esophageal opening.
In this case, it is necessary to take into account that it is the food that presses on the wall of the atrium.
There may also be a risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease. In this case, the walls of the lower esophagus become inflamed. As a result, they come into contact with the back wall of the left atrium. As a result, rhythm problems begin.
