Have yourself checked for diabetes!
I suspect your blood pressure is on the low side.when you eat the body naturally shunts blood to the digestive tract away from other places like skeletal muscle and the brain. If you drink more fluid you should be better.
You give no information about your age, body size or any other symptoms (like frequent urination) you are having. It is therefore impossible to hazzard a guess about the likelihood of diabetes regardless of your family history.
I suggest you see a doctor soon with your condition. This is not really a good place to get medical advice. If you are diabetic you could be getting worse very quickly and not even know it. Seek professional attention. Good Luck!
When you eat, a good portion of blood is redirected to the stomach muscle in order to continue the digestion process, which begins in the mouth by chewing. I know you may have heard 'chew your food good', well it's true . The better you chew the easier the digestive process will be in the stomach. Make sense? So, chew longer. Take the strain off the hard working stomach muscle, it may not completely rid your lightheadedness, but I'll bet digestion will be easier.
