Yes! When I eat certain carbs my heart rate goes up and my gut suddenly looks pregnant. My gut also expands when I try to exercise. I figured it was just blood pooling in my gut which takes away volume from my heart and causes my heart to race. Very little bread for me! My gut likes chicken and fruit....I crave pizza but haven't had it in years because it makes my heart race. I am in my 40s now but in my early 20s I was diagnosed with a dumping syndrome and mitral valve prolapse syndrome...but no one could help me. For me, I take Propranolol three times a day 25 mg zoloft, lots of water, occasional salty drinks if needed, daily pepcid and protonix and attempt to exercise in some way each week. And my doctor used the ANSAR testing and not Tilt table and it induced my symptoms exactly.
