Chocolate hangover?

[banana]

I have eaten almost 2 bars of galaxy promises chocolatein the last couple of days. I hadnt tried it before but it was reduced in Kwik save so i bought 2 bars. It was very nice so ate 1 bar straightaway and the part bar yesterday .I couldnt finish it all as it was quite rich.
Now i know that this isnt excessive for some people but it is for me.
I woke up this morning feeling like sh**e- achey and 'heady' with a rasping voice .My legs felt trembly on getting out of bed.In fact just as if I had a wild night out.

So - is it possible to get a 'chocolate hangover '? Or is a coincidental virusy thing do you think?

Not sure about the hangover you have but recently I've had a strangereaction to chocolate. It started at the cinema where I bought a "JUMBO" bag of Minstrels (not greed you understand, these are the only size available) and about halfway through, I started to feel light headed and to shake slightly. This has happened every time I eat more than two or three squares.

rosascool : I'd go and have a glucose blood test done if I were you unless it's only chocolate that does this. There might be something addictive they're starting to put into some chocolate bars, nobody knows these days....

Sounds like sugar overdose. You're coming down mate!

I eat loads of chocolate but I have found that some chocolate makes me have a banging headache the morning after. Minstrels and mini eggs are the worst culprits and dark chocolate causes it too. It doesnt stop me eating though lol

Chocolate contains caffeine, don;t forget- which in large doses can cause the shakes and headaches. If you eat Green and Blacks dark (70%) choc, it is caffeine and dairy free, and so should not give you the nasties. Unless it is sugar that isthe problem. Sugar would give you a high, followed by a low.

I'm also a bit of a "chocohlic"and suffer with migrain too, I've also found, if I drink a lot of coffee or lime cordial that will trigger it as well. All stuff I like!

Well, I haven't had any chocolate but I have had the exact same symptoms since Friday evening, and about 5 collegues about a week ago so there is this type of virus doing the rounds. Hope it goes quickly.

THanks everyone for your answers. It was dark/light chocolate with bits in so I was suspicious that there was something nasty(aspartame) hidden in it.
However Im feeling no better though so possibly it is a virus.
I had chemo last year and it feels very similar to the side effects - if you have had this bug can you tell me how long it lasts for?

Sorry Banana but It started Friday around 9pm for me, came back every 4ish hours without the Beechams, and although I've had moments of I'm over it. Felt awful at 3a.m today (woke up) then great again this morning. However starting to get more chesty type symptoms rather than aches & pains. Online now and upright, so needless to say, having another feeling that it's gone. Colleague tells me that this happened to her and hers lasted 10 days. But I have been OK for about 6 hours, with a cough & mild headache, a bit loose though (didn't really want to divulge that...but in the name of science)
