Feeling shaky after food.

For the past week I have felt very shaky after food, I haven't changed what I eat in this time and after an hour or so feel perfectly fine. It's almost the feeling you get when you have on onset of D&V but with no other symptoms and not constantly. Any ideas?

Blood sugar maybe? I get it sometimes but only if I'm ravenous before hand. Or exhausted and hungry.

Maybe get your iron levels checked too.

Thanks I'm never starving before I eat. I'll see if it calms down in this next week and maybe keep a diary of what I've ate to see if there are any triggers.

It might be a drop in blood pressure.

What, typically, are you eating?

Breakfast Greek yogurt and blueberries
Lunch veg soup of some sort sometimes bread.
Dinner salmon, new potatoes, asparagus, kale.
Snacks today pistachios but usually a bag of crisps my weakness

Just thinking I haven't been drinking much, I'm going to make an effort to have more water today. And it's mostly after breakfast or lunch where I feel ill.

Could be postprandial hypotension? I think drinking water before eating is supposed to help. Sounds like you need to go and chat to your GP.

I agree - I think you need to see your GP
