That matters, because a heart that pounds after eating frightens people, while most of what a meal does to the heart has been measured. <a href=\"https:\/\/bioprofile.com\/en\/heart-self-test\/\">BioProfile&#8217;s heart and vascular scan<\/a> gives you an indication of where you stand today in this area, as one of the 11 health areas that the full scan assesses. This is not a diagnosis. It is insight, to see where you stand today, and to help you make better choices in your food and your way of living. What the scan does not do is point to a cause or make a diagnosis.

In 9 volunteers, over 30 minutes while fasting and 60 minutes after a meal of 500 kcal, the ratio of low to high frequency rose from 1.78 to 2.50 and then 2.68 (P &lt; 0.05 for both), while the high frequency power, which follows vagal activity, fell from 21.8 to 16.0 and then 13.8.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">4<\/a><\/sup> A full stomach can make your heart pound: the calming branch of the nervous system steps back for the whole hour after a meal.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">4<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hartkloppingen-en-duizelig-na-eten-of-juist-moeheid\">Palpitations and dizziness after eating, or tiredness instead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across 13 studies with 3,021 participants in total, aged 65.2 to 86.0 years, 40.5 per cent had a drop in blood pressure after eating (95% CI 0.290 to 0.519), defined as a fall of at least 20 mmHg within 120 minutes of the meal.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you feel palpitations after eating and become dizzy, you have one event instead of two: blood pressure drops and the heart speeds up to keep circulation at the right level. Those figures describe adults aged 65 and over. Tiredness together with palpitations after eating fits the same picture from the other side, and Thuisarts.nl names tiredness itself among the everyday reasons for palpitations.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wat-een-normale-hartslag-is\">What a normal heart rate is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De Hartstichting gives 60 to 100 beats per minute for an adult at rest, with over 100 counting as high and under 60 as low,\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">5<\/a><\/sup> while Thuisarts.nl names 60 to 90.\u2060<sup class=\"bp-blog-sup\"><a href=\"#bronnen\">2<\/a><\/sup> The longer reading of those numbers is in <a href=\"https:\/\/bioprofile.com\/en\/normal-heart-rate\/\">what a normal heart rate is<\/a>.
