One past study found that people who eat unusually heavy meals are four times more likely to have a heart attack within two hours of eating.
Out of these, 158 admitted eating a “heavy meal” within 26 hours of the heart attack and 25 had eaten a big meal two hours before the attack.A heart attack is when the blood flow to your heart is suddenly blocked.In addition to contributing to higher cholesterol levels, unusually heavy meals may increase your risk of heart attack, possibly due to changes in blood flow and increases in heart rate and blood pressure after eating.
Shaista Malik said: “In people who already have blockage in heart arteries, any shunting of blood away from the heart can result in angina, or chest pain.”.
