Does your Blood Presure go down after eating?

Definately . . . blood goes to help digest your food after eating. It affects my body sometimes slowing me down for several minutes after eating, and sometimes no affect at all. Maybe it depents on what and how much I eat. when the fatigue hits you, just stop and rest for a few minutes in your chair. It should pass momentarily.
