Why would someone get heart palpitations after eating? In this podcast, we’re going to talk about that. What is a palpitation? A palpitation is an irregular heartbeat—a skipped heartbeat or an extra heartbeat. It has to do with your cardiac pacemaker. Palpitations can be a precursor to more serious problems that have to do with the rhythm of the heartbeat.
