Thuisarts names tiredness as one of the triggers,\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">2<\/a><\/sup> and a heavy meal is another.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In older people, researchers have measured another change after a meal. In 13 studies with 3,021 older people, about four in ten had a drop in blood pressure after eating. That was about a third of people living at home and about half of those on a hospital ward for older patients.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">4<\/a><\/sup> Put simply: a dip in blood pressure after a meal is common later in life. Whether it plays a part in your own symptoms is a question for your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"welk-eten-en-drinken-samenhangt-met-hartkloppingen\">Which foods and drinks are linked to heart palpitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caffeine is the best known. The Voedingscentrum lists palpitations among the effects of too much caffeine, along with headaches, trembling, dizziness, restlessness and trouble sleeping.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">5<\/a><\/sup> For healthy adults who are not pregnant and not breastfeeding, the limits are 400 milligrams a day and 200 milligrams in one go. A small cup of filter coffee (125 ml) contains about 60 milligrams, a cup of black tea about 30, a can of energy drink (250 ml) about 80 and a glass of cola about 20.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">5<\/a><\/sup> In plain words: three small cups of coffee straight after your evening meal come close to the limit for one go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one trial, 100 adults wore a heart monitor that recorded without a break for 14 days, and on some days they were told to drink coffee and on other days to skip caffeine. Coffee days brought an average of 154 extra beats a day from the lower chambers of the heart, against 102 on days without caffeine. Extra beats from the upper chambers did not clearly increase.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">3<\/a><\/sup> On coffee days, people also slept about 36 minutes less a night and took about 1,058 more steps.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">3<\/a><\/sup> What this means for you: coffee can cause extra beats that you may feel as a skipped beat or a thump, and it can cost you some sleep. Moving more is the pleasant side of that trade. You can read what too little movement does in <a href=\"https:\/\/bioprofile.com\/en\/effects-of-too-little-movement-what-it-does-to-your-body\/\">what too little movement does to your body<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alcohol has been measured in people with atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder that comes and goes. In 100 people followed for four weeks with a heart monitor and an alcohol sensor on the skin, one drink went along with roughly twice the chance of an episode. Two or more drinks in the four hours before went along with more than three times the chance.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">6<\/a><\/sup> Put simply: in people with this condition, a drink with a meal can make an episode within a few hours more likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When 1,295 people with this form of atrial fibrillation were asked what triggered their episodes, 957 of them named at least one trigger. Alcohol came first (35 per cent), followed by caffeine (28 per cent), exercise (23 per cent) and too little sleep (21 per cent). Large meals were on the list, but were not among the most common answers.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">7<\/a><\/sup> Women reported more triggers in that study.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">7<\/a><\/sup> Heart symptoms in women have their own article: <a href=\"https:\/\/bioprofile.com\/en\/heart-complaints-women-symptoms\/\">heart symptoms in women<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wat-onderzoek-vond-over-refluxziekte-en-boezemfibrilleren\">What research found about reflux disease and atrial fibrillation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A review of seven studies found that people with reflux disease, where stomach acid flows back up into the oesophagus, had atrial fibrillation slightly more often than people without reflux disease. The review included only a few studies, which varied widely, and the authors call for research that follows people over time.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">8<\/a><\/sup> Put simply: researchers see a link between the stomach and heart rhythm, but that link has not yet been established.
