Angina and body sweats

I have had one heart attack and two stints placed in my arteries, after eating a fairly good meal I get angina and complete body sweating, lightheaded and a little dizzy, does anybody else get these symptoms. I have a little understanding of the digestive tract and blood being diverted to it and away from other places to help in the digestion of your meal, but is this a logical consequence to eating.

If you feel angina when eating then you still have a problem. Does your cardiologist know about this? Did your heart attack leave irreversible tissue damage?
When you eat something, your digestive system becomes much more active and requires more blood/oxygen to digest your food. Your heart has to work harder for this.
These are the exact symptoms I felt for a year before I had my heart attack.

Once you have your stent you can experience angina for a number of reasons.  Certainly, after a "fairly good meal" you can get it. Try a smaller portion size or make your intake more leisurely.
