What Causes Sweating And Shivering After A Heavy Meal?

Hi everyone Before 2 hours. At 6 AM. ( i ate a heavy meal at 2 am ) I was walking outside for a short time like 5 minutes then all of a sudden felt tired, started shaking and sweating a little bit, tachycardia and nothing else. I couldn t stand so i went to my bed and it did t disappear for like 30 minutes , then i slept while shaking for 2 hours and i am feeling better right now. I didn t eat till now ( i can last for a day without eating and that did t happen ). I walk every day, run every day. I m 21, no health problem ( just atobic asthma), non of my relative is diabetic. ( no fever, loss of consiousness, stress or blurring of vision or chest pain ) i m not taking any medication.

Hi thanks for using Healthcaremagic
All your symptoms started after having heavy meals
The possibilities for the symptoms are

1.Reactive Hypoglycemia--after having heavy meals some persons develop Hypoglycemia .This is due to the overproduction of insulin in the body .The main culprit is insulin resistance.To overcome insulin resistance body produces more insulin and as a result patient feels lethargic

2.During post Pandial time increased blood supply to the intestines occurs..As a result other body parts receives little less blood that time .this could be one reason..

3.Activation Autonomic nervous system could be another reason...But you will have palpitation and dizziness...

4.Indigestion also can cause these symptoms.

thank you.....
