Question:
Could I be getting palpitations due to dumping?

I get palpitations after eating different foods, especially protein drinks. Could this be a form of dumping?    — betseylovelace (posted on October 20, 2003)

Watch the sugar intake. Dumping will give you palpitations. Too much sugar in one's system will put a person into a tachycardic state. It feels like your heart is pumping right out of your chest. Some people also do it with too much fat.

How do you make up your protein drinks? Does the naked protein have less than 6g sugar per 30g protein? A cup of milk has 12g, juice more like 20-40g sugar. Could be your "mixer" that's making you feel bad. Have you tried powder + water? Palpitations, sleepy, dry mouth, nausea, cold hands/feet, confusion.... any or all. Dumping

I get palps when I dump. Not only sugar but fat and if I over eat it is the worst dumping I get! Just lie down and it will pass. Wendy
