Blackout after swallowing food?

I know someone who blacked out after they swallowed a large amount of food at once. They get dizzy if they swallow a large amount of food. Recently he actually blacked out and woke up with a few bumps on his head. He feels like the food is pressing on his wind pipe or something but surely blacking out isnt normal as it only happens for a few seconds.

    u might think that this is crazy,but i think that its "swallow syncope" i watched this one mystery diagnosis and this woman was gettin dizzy everytime that she ate and would sometimes pass out and have seizures. do some reaserch on swallow syncope and ask your doctor if he can run some tests fer the disorder. or here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swallow_syncope
