Chocolate causing breathing problems
9 Answers
The other day at a restaurant I had a small piece of chocolate after my meal. While chewing it my throat seemed to close up and I could not breath. I really struggled to get a breath in for a good few seconds and had a bit of a panic. This is not the first time that chocolate has had this effect, but never before as bad as this. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks.

Not sure but think your GP can check several things when you have an allergy so you could ask for the nut one and see if you also have a dairy intolerence or something maybe?

Intolerance to certain foods is quite common, but a true allergic reaction is rarer. Your symptoms do sound like a mild allergic reaction and it would seem sensible to check it out with your doctor as the reactions may get progressively more distressing.
