What Causes Dizziness While Eating?

It could be related to blood pressure.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
There are some conditions related to dizziness accompanied by eating.
One condition could be related to a drop in the blood pressure because of the vasodilation in gastrointestinal vessels.
This happens because of blood is diverted into blood vessels around stomach and intestines, causing heart to beat faster and stealing a part of the blood from other organs including brain.
Other less common diseases/ conditions that may cause dizziness during or after eating include gastritis, thyroid gland disfunction, emotional factors and some kind of food.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.


Explanation below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for asking back.
When we start to eat, our digestive tract starts working more and this process needs more blood to go to intenstines and stomach so they can work properly.
This process needs an enlargement of gastrointestinal arteries, so they can transport more blood in this system.
This situation creates a "blood stealing" situation from other organs.
Hope I helped you. Best regards.
