why has my heart rate been significantly higher than usual lately?

Q: OK SO THIS IS A REALLY LONG QUESTION BUT I REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE: alright so about 3 months ago i decided to go on a diet. i was running 30 minutes a day and I was eating 1500 calories a day. i dropped down to 105 pounds, and started running 45 minutes a day since my cardiovascular health got better. i am 18 and i am 5’4 feet tall. anyways i was losing weight fast at first but i also lost muscle. i spoked to my doctor and he told me I was underweight and i was in starvation mode and he told me to start lifting weight If i didnt wanna gain fat. so on his advice I upped my calories to 1800-1900 a day (still on a deficit) and i start running 4 times a week for 45 minutes and doing weight 2 times a week. and i assigned a resting day. anyways on this new plan i wasnt losing any more weight (which was a good thing) but I also wasnt gaining any. also my resting heart rate was at 52 beats per minute, and it went up to about 60 beats per minute after my workouts.here is the part I dont get. i went to europe for 3 weeks, and while on holidays i stopped counting calories, so in other words i started eating more. i still kept eating healthy and I ate 6 meals a day, but i became less lenient in the sence that I enjoyed an occasional dessert now and then. also my exercise regiment stayed the same, I was still running 45 minutes 4 days a week and lifting 2 and resting 1. the part I don’t get is that when i upped my calorie intake (when i stopped counting calories and decided to take a break from my diet) the body fat around my stomach (which was the only place where I hadnt leaned out yet) finally started to come off. also my resting heart rate has now become significantly higher after my workouts. I have not increased the intensity of my workouts, the only thing i have done is increase my caloric intake.before my heart rate after a run would go up to 60 beats per minute at its highest.. now it goes up to 100 beats per minute and it remains pretty high throughout the remainder of the day, at about 72 beats per minute, which is high. also my heart rate seems to go up after I eat. on my resting days my resting heart rate is now 60 beats per minute and again it goes up to 72 beats per minute when I eat, coming back down to 60 beats per minute about half hour after when im done digestingwhy has my resting heart rate gone up all of a sudden when i increased my caloric intake? i now eat maintenance and sometimes a bit more, maybe i eat 3000 calories daily when my maintenance is only 2400also i have noticed that in the last 3 weeks i put on 4 pounds… yet I dont see how that makes sence since i dont see any new fat accumulating around my stomach, if anything i seem to be losing fat around my stomach but im still putting on weight.i dont get this, is there something wrong with me? people have told me that maybe my heart rate has gone up so high because my metabolism has increased significantly. could this be possible? and again how can i seem to be putting on weight and not fat? is such a thing even possible? as I said before i HAVE NOT increased the intensity of my exercise, only the ammount of calories. this is concerning me because my resting heart rate never goes down to 52 beats per minute anymore, it goes to 60 at the lowest now. have I fallen out of shape somehow?is this an effect of having raised my calories? also it appears as if now my body digests foods quicker that before. and just last month i was intolerant to lactose and to complex carbs.. now all of a sudden i can down haft a litre of milk, eat cheese and yogurt and not get cramps, bloating or gas. this seriously makes no sence, and whole grains and complex carbs no longer cause me to bloat anymore either.could someone explain this change to me? specially the raise in resting heart rate and in gaining weight without gaining fat, even though im eating double the amount of food now than I was while i was on my diet.btw Im also in the habit of eating 5-6 meals a day

A: There are many possible causes of a rapid heartbeat, including: exercise, heavy lifting or other activity that requires exertion, fear, pain, anxiety, stress, anger, or nervousness, fever, dehydration. This may be caused by too little intake of fluids, loss of blood, diarrhea, vomiting, or medications such as diuretics, sometimes called “water pills.” low blood pressure, also called hypotension, hyperthyroidism, which is a level of thyroid hormone in the body that is too high, congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood effectively, irregular heartbeats, known as arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. These may be caused by salt imbalances, heart attack, and other conditions, low red blood cell count known as anemia, medications or drugs. Albuterol, which is commonly used to treat asthma, as well as some over the counter and prescription decongestants can cause rapid heartbeat. Cocaine abuse and alcohol withdrawal are other causes of rapid heartbeat, excessive caffeine intake, some herbal therapies such as ephedra, also called ma huang , infections. These may include such as a serious blood infection called sepsis and pneumonia, nerve damage, known as peripheral neuropathy, that affects the nerves attached to the heart. This is often due to diabetes, a condition that results in a high level of blood sugar, low oxygen in the blood, also called hypoxia. There can be many causes for this. Examples include asthma and emphysema. Other causes are possible. Sometimes, no cause can be found.A rapid heartbeat is defined as a heart rate that is faster than normal. The heart normally beats fewer than 100 times per minute in adults. In children, the heart can beat slightly faster than 100 times per minute and still be considered normal. At rest, a person’s heart rate usually stays within a standard range. This range is usually 50 to 100 times per minute in adults and slightly faster in children. With increased physical activity, stress, or other conditions, however, the heart rate may increase above the normal level. A person with a rapid heartbeat may have no symptoms at all. When symptoms do occur, they may include: • palpitations, or an unusual awareness of the heartbeat • excessive sweating • fatigue or weakness • shortness of breath • chest pain • lightheadedness or dizziness • fainting • symptoms related to the cause of the rapid heart rate

Vegetarian (pescetarian technically) with gas and flatulence – anyone with experience? Help?

Q: It comes and goes in waves… I’ve had days with only one small pass and days where my social life is entirely hindered and it gets really embarrassing.Here’s my background, and hopefully any current vegans or vegetarians out there with experience can help. What bothers me is that I was told that these issues should stop a couple of months into vegetarianism; it’s been an issue for 18months. I’m currently 20yrs old, female.I’ve been vegetarian for about 2 years.My gas issue started about 6 months into my vegetarianism.I tried to cut dairy out of my diet for various reasons (most environmental, health reasons e.g. hormones/antibiotics they feed cows plus the methane issue) 6months before becoming veg. From that point on I relied heavily on soy products for about 18months. Since then, due to the hormonal/estrogen research to do with soy, I’ve cut it down as much as possible. I now drink almond milk (not often; mostly for cooking pancakes or baking etc. Seldomly drank it).I’ve tried to reincorporate Yogurt into my diet (to improve the probiotics in my intestinate/digestive tract in case that was a reason for flatulence), and even cheeses. I’m not sure if lactose intolerance is an issue; I wasn’t intolerant as a child but maybe these can be developped? I’m going to cut out dairy again to see if that’s something that can affect the problem.I occasionally eat fish such as salmon, halibut, tuna. This is very seldom and usually only when my only alternative vegetarian-friendly restaurant choice is pasta smothered in cream and cheese or something equally unhealthy. This happens maybe once every 2 weeks.WHAT I’VE TRIED:-L. acidophilus probiotic supplement-Yogurt-BeanoWHAT I WANT TO TRY/AM SUSPICIOUS OF:-I kept a food diary and eliminated carbonated beverages after noticing a strong correlation (I will miss beer…) but that didn’t completely solve the problem by any means-Maybe I should try to eliminate dairy again? Lactose intolerance? Even though I wasn’t as a child. -Watch how much/volume of what I eat – I’ve gained my freshman 15 in the past while and I think that if I eat slower and less overall it should help, but even while doing so I’ve only noticed a partial, not entire, decrease. Basically I’ll concentrate more on eating slowly and not swallowing air-no drinks through straws or anything that requires you to suck a drink down (e.g. pop bottles)I know that lots of people go through life drinking pop and beer without many side effects at all – I used to be one of them – and this is really stressing me out. Any answers would be lovely. xxxxxxKnowing that lactose intolerance CAN be a time thing (to do with cutting down and then reincorporating it into the diet) is useful – I’m going to contact some doctors and see if I can set up appointments to see if I’m gluten intolerant (hopefully not celiac, that’s a whole new ballgame =) or lactose intolerant. Please keep responding, this is quite helpful xxxxxx

A: You are not a vegetarian, please stop referring to yourself as one. It makes life much more difficult for us non-animal eaters. If you are suspicious of these things, then eliminate them. For the Lactose issues, get some Lactaid and see if it helps. I know plenty of folks who developed this later in life – as the human body is set up to do after weaning naturally anyway. Obviously, beans, many veggies, dairy, beer, and yeasty products can also contribute. If it’s a problem that you can’t nail down, then a doctor’s visit is most certainly in order. And it’s important that you are reading balanced things on soy. Every few years there’s some new deadly food that thousands of articles are written on, usually picking up on one or two studies that may or may not be valid. http://www.vegfamily.com/health/vegan-soy-information.htmEdit: I forgot to mention that too much of certain vitamins/supplements can also cause problems. Vitamin C, Zinc, and just about anything in excess can certain lead to GI upset, which in some shows up as gas.
