Eating Too Much Causes Blood Pressure To Go Down During Dialysis?

I recently learned from reading to a site that eating while on dialysis could or is causing the blood pressure to go down, much further down SO it could be the reason that my blood pressure is crashing all the time.

But at dialysis even a regular dialyzer with only a blood pump of 200 mL per minute can get my blood sugar down and maybe subsequently my BP as well let alone my current dialyzer type and faster blood pump speed which is efficient enough to wash away the Caffeine that I am taking while I am on dialysis.

So it will really make my BP to go down even if I do eat considering that I wanted to bring my body fluid down. But I am eating nonetheless because I was eating after an hour of being hooked-up and it is enough for me to feel that I am hungry.

Anyway I am very sure that if I do not eat my BP will definitely shoot down because dialysis is also known to wash-away blood sugars as well so I have to really eat but the problem lies on the amount that I eat because I am always eating to my heart's delight because they say that blood goes to the digestive system if you eat that much.

I am not sure if that would be a valid reason because even though your blood rushes to your digestive system or guts when you eat much during dialysis the blood is still in your system plus the extra volume of that your food and drinks brings to your system would make your blood pressure to go up.

Actually it is very erratic what causes the dialysis patient's blood pressure to go down as sometimes my BP would go down even after being hooked-up at dialysis for an hour or so. Having a gas problem also triggers BP to go down as well as I have experienced and with confirmation to one of my dialysis friends had told me as well.

I am eating anyway no matter what they say because only at my dialysis times I could enjoy eating food and after that no more, my appetite would go down the drain afterwards and would lament agfain about my Nausea and appetiteloss because of my Parathyroid drug which I hope I would never take again soon.
