Low blood pressure and significant anemia can make you prone to lightheadedness. In addition it can be caused by a drop in blood sugar as your body releases insulin after carbohydrate intake. Another possible cause occurs after a heavy meal, as blood is diverted away from your brain and down to the intestinal tract in the digestive process. Get treated for anemia.Avoid high carb foods&heavy meals.
