What Causes Warm Sensation Around Forehead After Having Breakfast?

I am trying to figure out why I start feeling hot around my forehead/hairline after I finish breakfast or toward the end of my meal (while still eating). It happened once while eating oatmeal, skim milk, banana, raisins and orange juice. Wondered if I had too many carbs or could be the sugar in the raisins and banana and juice. Another time I had some organic cereals with hardly any sugar and then a large serving of Cheerios because I hadn t had them in a long time! I also had 1/2 medium banana and skim milk. Today I looked at the ingredients in the Erewhon organic cereal and saw how many carbs there were in addition to the Cheerios and the banana. Other times I have had the occurrence when I had Triscuits which have soybean oil- could it be the soybean or the 20+ carbs in them, depending how many I eat. Can t be the sugar because there is none. Do you have any ideas why I could have these symptoms right while I am eating these products? I am on .1 mg of levothyroxine(Tirosint brand) and am 67 yrs old. I exercise 3-4x a week doing zumba and such aerobic activity and weigh 130-132 at 5 6. Thank you. Barb
