Hi,
After eating more blood flow is diverted to digestive tract naturally blood supply to brain is bit lessened this might have caused dizziness in addition there was more exertion to your body causing oxygen debt to the muscles over strained this has increased oxygen demand in body to increase the dizziness. But even if every thing else is normal considering your past history, I would advise a heart check up by your cardiologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
