Postprandial: hypotension. Digestion is a complicated job that requires precise coordination between the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems. An early task is rerouting extra blood to the stomach . To compensate for this blood vessels far from the digestive system narrow. In some people, blood vessels don't respond as they should. This causes some people to fall, others to faint.
