When I eat chocolate I get vertigo and tired


I have been to many doctors.
When I eat food, I get tired.

I have found out that if I eat just meat and potato's, I am fine. I have also found out that if I eat chocolate I have to lay down. If I eat too much chocolate (a candy bar) I get vertigo. The room feels as if it is moving.

I now take clonazapam, which helps. I wake up in the middle of the night with just my middle fingers numb, or just my pinky fingers numb. But the Clonazapam if helping with that.

Also, it use to be that just laying down to go to sleep the bed felt as if I was floating in the ocean. But the drugs are helping.

I can't eat Little Cesare's pizza, garlic bread, Burger king french fries puts me on the floor. I can drink milk, but I can't eat cereal, or drink hot chocolate.

My allergy doctor said I am not "allergic" to anything, but these are food sensitivities. I do have a "true" allergic reaction to fish though.

So what should I do next?
I am running out of ideas, but will have my amalgam fillings removed over the next couple of months. Can you believe it is illegal to dispose of amalgam fillings in a land fill, but it is OK to have in my mouth?

Did you know that if tuna had 1 part per million it is taken off the shelves, but each tooth filling can give off 700,000 parts per million? I need help/advice, but the fillings are coming out.  http://www.mercury-free.com/fast_facts.html

Does anyone have any ideas or had any experience with this?
I don't want to drug away my problems, I want to get to the underlying problem of "why" this is happening.

i got dizzy spells then found out i was allergic to asparatame which is a sweetener in nearly all drinks and some foods. I also found i needed vits and minerals and the only i found this out was with an amazing product that my friend gave me and he buys it from America it is £30 for a bottle which is a month supply. It is called total toddy and it is a liquid spectrum and because it is  liquid it hits your body in 3days. it worked with me and my daughter. i could have cried when it worked because i was so tired and depressed before and no one seemed to understand they just thought i was lazy and bad tempered. I slept through most of my first preganacy. I still get the odd dizzy spell but only with chocolate, orange juice and sweetened drinks like vodka ice, just because i am sensitive to these.

Hello, thanks for the suggestions.
I don't think the answer is the high carb theory though.
Every day, I have a half a glass of milk to take my clonazapam, and a few vitamins. Throughout the day I either drink some Pepsi, or a small glass of milk. For supper I eat a large amount of potato's, along with a hamburger patty (A hamburger, minus everything-no bun, no pickle, no catchup-just the meat).

Then in the evening I eat 4 cheese sticks.
If you say my diet "is" my problem, I do eat this way because if I ate like a normal human I'd be tired all of the time, and I would have vertigo (room moves) all of the time.

I was surprised the other day when I ate a full chocolate candy bar to see what would happen, and I got really tired (weak) and a pretty strong vertigo feeling of the room moving. It lasted for about 1-2 hours, then I was ok.

Thanks in advance

it could be your blood sugar. I used to have severe low blood sugar and I had a hard time eating high-carb and/or high-sugar foods, but eating protein with helps balance your blood sugar.

i'm not a dr mind you. just my own personal experience
