Lightbulb I would keep a diary/log

When these events happen. Is it after eating? After eating certain foods?

After bending or exercising the abdomen? things like that.

After emotionally upsetting situations?

Medically thyroid function and other endocrine issues (pheochromacytoma) come to mind. Excess thyroid function, Grave's disease or hyperthyroidism is a major cause of tachycardia.

But people get weird reactions to MSG in foods, have food intolerances to dairy and wheat/gluten, etc.

A pheochromacytoma is a growth on the adrenal glands. Certain muscular movements can compress one and release excess adrenaline which will then give the racing heart/increased blood pressure etc. This is an inherited condition for the most part.
