See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A 78-year-old man experienced repeated transient attacks after almost every ingestion of food and showed orthostatic and postprandial hypotension.An angiogram revealed occlusion of his left carotid artery and stenosis of his right middle cerebral artery.Postprandial as well as orthostatic hypotension can be a risk factor for stroke in patients with severe occlusive cerebrovascular disease.
