It's comforting to think that you may be weird or maybe crazy...and then read on this board I may not be alone in my weirdness. I have noted in the past year or so, if I eat a 'robust' meal, the fun kind of food, mostly carbs or heavy like say a hamburger and fries, or biscuits and gravy with a mimosa, I get pain and/or tightness in my chest, a tight constricting like feeling in my neck, tachycardia, dizzy or like a head rush and feel generally bad. I thought it was just me, but I have seen it mentioned before. Interesting symptom to dietary indiscretion. It doesn't seem to have a preference; breakfast, lunch or dinner. Not every meal or every day.

I was diagnoses with HOCM May of 1999, and I notice more palpitations after eating a larger meal. Heart rate increases as well, but no other symptoms. I thought I was crazy weird, relieved to find I'm not the only one.
I think your body may be trying to tell you something. Try a better, healthier diet.
Interesting to see so many comments about the dizziness and food. I thought it was just me. I have been experiencing the same thing but it's only in the AM when I add the meds to that that are taken with food and it can be extremely concerning. I've tried different foods and ruled our carbs because it happens with eggs. I find the best thing I can eat to avoid this is turkey sandwiches (every deli section of the local grocery stores know me well) or tuna salad. I guess these things are meant for the "go figure" files.

I ate sausage, biscuits and gravy the other morning and then later in day experienced the same symptoms but on top of that am also diabetic.
