If your breathing and/or cardiovascular system has been affected, diminished due to your disability, then it happened because you aren't breathing while eating. Try eating more slowly or take a couple bites and then take a break or eat while you are tipped back.

Usually when I'm eating something that is really chewy. I find if I recline in the wheelchair for a couple minutes my blood pressure goes back up and I can resume eating. That probably isn't of any help to you but that is the only thing I have found helps.
