What Causes Sweating And Shivering Post Lunch?

My son and I were having lunch and when he was done he became very pale,weak started to shake a little and broke out in a profuse sweat ! He looked like he came out of a shower. We took him home and he was feeling better in a few hours and then better each day after. However he said he was still only 95% yesterday. I want him to get checked by a Doctor, what s your spin on this ?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
It may be due to some nervous reflex problem. His sympathetic chain ganglia are enervated in defected manner.So hen he eats with salivation glands this sympathetic ganglia are stimulated and causes sweating.
Another thing if he is taking meal heavily, due to blood flow directed to digestive organs more and relatively less flow to other system can cause hypotension which may look like pale, sweating.
So please consult doctor, by diagram he/she can explain you more about effective enervation.
