After a large meal at a restaurant or special occasion i often feel very light headed as if i could faint, do you know what could cause this?

Low blood pressure?: Much of ones blood is shunted to the abdomen after a large meal.If your BP is on the low side, this could drop it enough to make you light headed.Easy to check.Good luck.
