In Asynchronous using Rest Api Error: System.LimitException: Apex heap size too large: 19312398

Question

I got the error as heap size limit too large, I'm able to send below 2MB file by using Asynchronous method but the limits is 12MB and trying to send 12MB file to external system by using Rest Api.

                system.debug('a'+a);
            }  } 
            }   
    }

My Trigger:

Trigger SendFile on Opportunity (after insert){
for(Opportunity a:Trigger.new) {
SendAttachmentByRestAPI.sendAttachement(); 
    }

I would try to debug my code using the apex code: Limits.getLimitHeapSize(); You can see the apex reference here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexref.meta/apexref/apex_methods_system_limits.htm#apex_System_Limits_getHeapSize

and here is an example of how someone else did it: Limits.getHeapSize() wildly inaccurate?

At least this debugging method will give you an idea of where the heap size error is occurring. Maybe you are calling the trigger with too many opportunities? Maybe like the comments say other areas are adding to the heap size.
