To help determine which might be the case for you, it\u2019s helpful to keep a log of the things that seem to be associated with the dizziness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-low-blood-sugar\">1) Low blood sugar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common things that causes dizziness after eating is low blood sugar. The medical term for low blood sugar is hypoglycemia, which happens when your blood sugar drops below 70 mg\/dL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re more likely to have low blood sugar if you have diabetes, but it can happen if you don\u2019t have diabetes as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have diabetes and get dizzy after eating, you might have <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/reactive-hypoglycemia-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reactive hypoglycemia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With reactive hypoglycemia, your body produces a lot of insulin (a hormone that helps lower your blood sugar) in response to eating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it releases too much insulin, then it can make your blood sugar drop too low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other signs of low blood sugar include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fast heartbeat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shakiness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweating even if you\u2019re not hot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feeling nervous or anxious<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irritability, confusion, or other changes to your mental status<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feeling hungry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-low-blood-pressure\">2) Low blood pressure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another potential cause of feeling woozy after eating is postprandial hypotension. Postprandial means after eating, and hypotension means low blood pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your blood pressure reading is 90\/60 or lower, then it\u2019s considered low blood pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, postprandial hypotension is <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/7825766\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">defined as<\/a> a drop in systolic blood pressure (top number) of 20 mmHg or more after eating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means that your blood pressure doesn\u2019t need to be as low as 90\/60 to have postprandial hypotension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Postprandial hypotension occurs when your body diverts too much blood to your digestive system to digest your food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the blood flow is focused in your digestive tract, then it causes your blood pressure to be lower in other parts of your body, causing dizziness or lightheadedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/how-to-raise-blood-pressure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">symptoms of low blood pressure<\/a> can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blurry vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fainting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feeling confused<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea or vomiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weakness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-diabetes-medications\">3) Diabetes medications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take medication for diabetes, they could be the culprit behind feeling dizzy and nauseous after eating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially true for medications that are more likely to cause low blood sugar or those that are taken before meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast-acting or rapid-acting insulin is the most likely diabetes medication to cause low blood sugar after eating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of insulin starts working quickly to lower your blood sugar to offset the rise in blood sugar after eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take too much insulin or don\u2019t eat enough carbohydrates, then you could experience dizziness from low blood sugar after eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of short- and rapid-acting insulins and other diabetes medications that can cause low blood sugar are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Insulin aspart (Novolog)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insulin lispro (Humalog)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sulfonylureas (glipizide, glyburide, glimepiride)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insulin glulisine (Apidra)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[bensnaturalhealthIinlineLeadGen id =&#8221;1&#8243; event=&#8221;15 Food Blood Sugar eBook Download&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ipad-15-Foods.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Get Your FREE Diabetes Diet Plan&#8221; content=&#8221;##15 foods to naturally lower blood sugar levels ##3 day sample meal plan ##Designed exclusively by our nutritionist&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-high-blood-pressure-hypertension\">4) High blood pressure (hypertension)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The opposite of hypotension is hypertension, the medical term for high blood pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One in four adults has high blood pressure, impacting billions of people worldwide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also called \u201cthe silent killer\u201d, high blood pressure often doesn\u2019t come with noticeable signs or symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, high blood pressure might lead to dizziness after eating, though it&#8217;s less common than a drop in blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially true if you eat a meal high in sodium (salt), which can temporarily increase your blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating a high-salt meal causes your body to retain fluid to balance out the increase in sodium, which increases the pressure in the walls of your blood vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normal blood pressure is less than 120\/80.
