What Could Be The Reason For Getting Sweaty, Weak And Feels Like Fainting?
Hi I occasionally - one to two years apart - get an attack shortly after eating. I get sweaty, weak, and everything goes hazey. It lasts about 15 to 20 minutes and at points feels like I am going to faint. Once it is over it may not happen again for a year or two. It happened the first time about 33 years ago.

Hi,
Your symptoms indicate post-prandial hypoglycemia. Get your blood sugar checked and record the results.
Check your thyroid hormones as well together with blood pressure.
I advise to:
- eat often and small portions
- stay sit after eating for at least 20 minutes
- do not lay down immediately after eating
Take care!
