Going very hot, dizzy and sick after eating

[penguinsnpandas]

A few times I've eaten recently I've suddenly gone hot all over, very dizzy and feeling very sick, though am not sick. Anyone know what this is?

Recent blood tests normal except anemia and kidney function. Am mid 40s. Lots of other symptoms. Thanks very much.

Could be a vaso vagal reaction, quite common after eating as the vagus nerve is close to the stomach.
A friend has this, she fainted once after as we were just finishing our works christmas lunch and gave us all a fright.
Lots of info if you google.

Thanks very much - it could well be something like that.

I was wondering whether its a hot flash too - takes about 30 minutes to get back to normal but I only get them occasionally so maybe not.

I have heart trouble and had this as a symptom - have you been checked out for blood-pressure cholesterol etc? digesting a large meal was taking too much out of me and making me feel very hot and very ill indeed. Managed with meds now and can eat as normal now without problems - always.

Thanks very much. Sorry to hear you have heart problems. I had really bad chest pain a few weeks back and spent 24 hours in hospital but results were fine, chest xray clear of blood clots, blood pressure OK, ECG fine though did go in late after pains subsidised a lot but they thought no heart issues. Not sure if they did a cholesterol test though may have done if its a standard one, bloods they took were fine, they said one was a special heart test.

I am awaiting results of abdominal pelvis ct scan and kidney scan and have been having bleeding from kidney / bladder but not sure if this is related, probably not. They said bloods from that were not too abnormal, kidney scan they could only run 1 out of 3 tests though. Should get those on Saturday. My Dad only has 1 kidney since he was young.
