Heart rate increases after eating
My son has been sick about 8 months.
Dr’s have no idea.
He has extreme gas pain in stomach,feels like going to have heart attack. Heart rate and be go way up.
Cannot burp pass gas etc.
finally dr said he has POTS. . Lot of symptoms match but not all. Had a heirnal hernia fixed last month. Last week they loosened wrap to burp. Then he got 7 hours hiccups right after surgery. Took dr several hours for something to release hiccups. Nothing worked. Will get hiccups after eating.eating .
Also after eating heart rate increases a lot. Dr’s “ no idea”.
Anyone here heard of anything close to problems?
Appreciate any help.
Thank you

Hello @bl3ss3d
Thank you for adding to this discussion that was started by @mom123mcq. Many Members have had these same symptoms with MALS (abbreviation for Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome). This can be very difficult to diagnose. If you care to share more, could you tell us how you were eventually diagnosed with MALS? How long did it take to get his diagnosis?
I had a Mesenteric Arterial Doppler test done that showed a possibility of MALS. My Cardiologist then did an imaging test of which was initially done incorrectly. They finally confirmed it when it was re-done. I was diagnosed in 2018. I had the doppler test done exactly one year prior and it showed no MALS. I am not too sure how it surfaced aside from two things: 1. I have POTS and 2. I had a chiropractic adjustment done within that year where I was adjusted very differently from the usual "gun" mechanism. During this visit I left feeling very nauseous and my body was extremely sore from within 1 hour of leaving and up until 3 days after. I fell asleep in the car on the way home and slept all day and night. The nausea began instantly after have my mid back area adjusted.) Other than those two items, the syndrome does not run in my family and I have always been pretty healthy until the POTS began in 2015.
