What Causes Dizziness After Eating And Excessive Burping?
Question: For the past week I have had dizziness after eating and burping. I also have difficulty sleeping and am taking a sleep med for that. Why the dizziness?
Brief Answer:
Lowering of blood pressure, or sugar in blood.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Two are main conditions that may cause dizziness after eating:
1. lowering of blood pressure (postprandial hypotension due to diversion of blood to abdominal vessels)
2. low levels of sugar ( reactive hypoglycemia )
It is necessary to discuss with your primary care Doctor about further evaluation of these conditions.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Kind regards.
