Minor dizzy spells when starting to eat!

Could be some form of BBPV caused by your head movement.

Sounds like a sugar rush are you diabetic?

Readhead56 Well the last thing I had were a couple of crackers and tea with no sugar so probably no sugar rush. I'm not diabetic as far as I know! Blossoming I'm off to google BBPV. Here is the link to the Mumsnet thread. There seem to be a few people with similar symptoms! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/general_health/2977349-Dizziness-WHEN-Im-eating-drinking

Well I hope you get it sorted out.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Sorry to hear of your symptoms, but it doesn't sound like BPPV sometimes called "Crystals in the ear" characterised by your vision spinning round very fast as soon as you try to stand up which becomes impossible.
First time, the paramedics carted me off to hospital (I'm becoming a hospital addict!) suspecting a stroke, but despite a battery of scans nothing was found, but kept me in for a week.
As Blossoming says, it's caused by rapid head movements such that the "crystals" don't keep up. More likely to happen if you leap suddenly out of bed in the morning!
The second and last time it happened I stayed in bed, (living on my own) and it was 24 hours before I could stand up!
Didn't mean to put the wind up you because your situation is nothing like that, but it's worth being aware of BPPV.
Good Luck

Thanks Redhead. Thanks for the info Rufus2 It doesn't sound as bad as that. You must have been very worried! I suppose a call to the GP might be necessary if it doesn't settle down. Either that or I just stop eating.

Could be a problem with your ears. Any movement in the jaw can affect your ear canal which is important for balance.

Oooo good idea keepingquiet. I'll test that theory out by dunking and sucking a biscuit or 2 (not chewing) with my next cuppa!
