Is it normal to experience dizziness after eating?

Experiencing a feeling of dizziness after eating can be due to the size of the meal or fluctuations in blood sugar and blood pressure.

Is dizziness after eating a cause for concern?

Mild dizziness after eating can be normal, especially after large or carbohydrate-rich meals that may cause fluctuations in blood sugar or blood pressure. It may also occur due to dehydration or eating too quickly, explains internal medicine specialist Dr S M Fayaz. A study published in the Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology lists dizziness as a good indicator of glucose metabolism alterations. However, repeated episodes of dizziness or large spells of the same could be a sign of some underlying disease because of digestive problems, low blood sugar, or fluctuating blood pressure. It is always recommended to get consulted by a doctor in such cases.
