Sudden dizziness after eating - what's going on?

[flow4]

I've just had a nasty episode of dizziness... It came on suddenly towards the end of my meal, and was very intense (I had to put my head on the table and stay still for 10 mins) and is still lingering 40 mins later. I don't get dizzy often, but I have done after eating a few times in the past month or two - but not as badly as this. I was very hungry/low blood sugar before I ate, and I'm wondering if that might have been a factor...?

T'internet suggests it might be 'postprandial hypotension' (i.e. basically, blood pressure in the brain dropping as the stomach uses more blood to digest food)...

Does anyone know anything about this? Has anyone had the same symptoms? Should I get it checked out by a doctor?

Thanks in advance for any advice/info :)

Have your gallbladder checked. I had similar and gallstones were found.

I know this is an old thread but I had that issue and others. I finally was diagnosed with POTS. POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC TACACARDI SYNDROME. Look it up and test your heartrate with a cheap finger monitor easily ordered on Amazon. Good luck.
