LOW BP w/ EATING: Sounds like postprandial hypotension, he condition where the blood pressure drops, typically 30 to 60 minutes after a meal. Though you still need to see your doctor for hands on assessment, avoiding large meals, carb-rich drinks & strenuous exercise after eating, along with proper daily hydration with water may minimize your symptoms.
