What causes a sudden drop in blood pressure after eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be normal: Eating is known to decrease BP for an hour or two. Blood is routed to the intestine and liver and that reduces overall bp. Dehydration and some medicines may make this meal induced change in BP more obvious. I would not worry too much, but i would be careful to avoid sudden changes in posture, or exposure to very high temps after eating.
