I have noticed frequently that whenever i eat chocolate it gives me migraines. But the weather has also been really bad so i was wondering if you can get migraines from chocolate

I don't know. Well, I don't think so. I know for a fact that drinking Coke made my migraines twice as bad. And even though I've quit drinking Coke in large qualities, I still have migraines. The only thing causing them for me is stress. So maybe it's just different for everyone.

I know that when I drink diet coke I get bad migraines and stomach ache. But if Idrink diet pepsi it doenst bother me. I know that caffeiene does cause migraines and it creates bad ones for me.

Yes, if I have TOO much chocolate I get a headache. Just the other day I had my daily bottle of Mountain Dew, which has a lot of caffeine, and then later the same day I opened a bag of chocolate chips, and I couldn't stop eating them, so I woke up with a bad headache in the middle of the night.

After eating all that sugar, your sugar probably crashed during the night and gave you the headache. For every sugar high, there is a sugar low.

I don't get migraines, but if the chocolate is milk chocolate and very sweet it makes me sick at my stomach. For my chocolate that I can afford, I get semi sweet chocolate chips. If I could afford it all the time, I'd eat dark chocolate.

I have never heard of getting migraines or any forms of headaches from chocolate. It has never happened to me. That is very strange. I hope that it is not from chocolate, though; I know if that happened to me I wouldn't be able to stand it!

It has a natural chemical in it. Chocolate can give you migranes and other symptoms.
