Why might someone with multiple myeloma feel faint after eating?
Someone with multiple myeloma might feel faint after eating due to changes in blood pressure or heart-related issues that can affect how blood flows in the body.
Explanation
Feeling faint after eating could be linked to how blood pressure changes when standing up or sitting down. Reference 1 talks about how eating can affect blood pressure, especially if someone eats a lot of salt. This might make someone feel lightheaded or faint.
Reference 3 mentions that issues with the heart or nervous system can also cause fainting feelings. These systems work together to keep blood flowing properly. If there is a problem, such as with the heart or blood vessels, it can lead to feeling faint.
While these references do not directly mention multiple myeloma, the condition can affect the body in many ways, including how blood flows and how the heart works. It's important for someone feeling faint to talk to their doctor to find out what's happening.
