Your heart rate should increase after eating, although it should not become uncomfortable. The reason it increases is because the body is working to digest the food you just ate and transfer it to energy. The blood is rushing to your stomach and other organs needed to digest your food and your heart must therefore pump faster. It's normal. If it increases beyond 100-110, consult your doctor. You may have an accelerated heart rate, which is not good, but can be treated with beta blockers.

Your heartrate goes up after eating because your heart is trying to pump more oxygenated blood to your stomach. Your stomach is using energy to digest the food and it needs oxygen to do so. Your stomach uses both chemical and mechanical digestion which means it has to keep the level of HCl balanced and from entering your intestines.

your heart rate should increase after eating because your body is trying to digest food. some people's heart rates can exceed after eating up to 100 bpm! some people's heart rates drop. it all depends on how your body reacts when you eat; everyone is different.
