I was just reading about how chocolate is ok to have if you are on an MAOI. Well I just wanted to write this post and tell everyone that last night I had a hypertensive episode (not a full blown crisis) from eating chocolate. I had 2 quaker choc chip bars- they are coated in chocolate and then there are choc chips inside. This was the only thing I had to eat, and being that choc has been on the list of foods to avoid, I knew it was the culprit. I was dripping in sweat. I had a lot of pressure in my chest. Then the sharp pain of a headache began. It soon passed, but there would have been no other cause than the chocolate. And what is "moderation" anyway? To me it's not eating the whole box! :) It means something different to everyone.
