A member asked:
Is it possible for you to get dizzy from eating too much chocolate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chocolate 101: In short, yes. Chocolate contains sugar, caffeine, theobroma compounds and can affect serotonin. If you are diabetic, the rush of sugar can cause compensatory changes in insulin prompting a rapid fall in sugar and dizziness. Caffeine-sensitive individuals can experience hypertension/hypotension with chocolate and there is evidence that some individuals may experience effects of excess serotonin
