Tired, cold and dizzy

I am always cold and tired but after I eat it gets really bad and I also feel extremely dizzy and unable to concentrate.  I wear sweaters and have a heater on me at work in the middle of summer just to feel warm.  It has gotten so bad that I try not to eat or drink anything all day long at work because I want to pass out so bad.  It even happens if I just drink water.  Is there something wrong with me or am i just not getting enough rest at night?

When a person eats, a body normally sends blood to the digestive system. But it sounds like stuff is not normal.

That sounds like something with your gastric system - or your cardiac - hence you are not getting warm. There can by thyroid stuff where you can be cold - but the gastric stuff would lead elsewhere - what tests have you had done and what docs have you seen?
