Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As per your history and the clinical presentation it looks like you are allergic to chocolates.
To confirm that you have to test your blood for absolute eosinophill count (AEC) and confirm whether there is any allergic manifestations in your body.
If there is elevated AEC, you need to undergo patch test for the suspected allergen and confirm whether there is any allergic reaction for chocolates. If there is a allergic reaction you need to avoid the chocolates otherwise you will get the symptoms when ever consume the chocolates.
Thank you.
