Guest guest Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 > Chocolate is a trigger because it contains caffeine.... > I'm not sure it's just down to the caffeine. Chocolate does not contain that much caffeine. I can tolerate a cup of filter coffee without particular problems. However I recently started on dark chocolate again having stabilised by AF on Sotalol, and the longer periods of AF started again. They stopped once I stopped the chocolate (groan!). This has happened before but I thought I could get away with it this time. The caffeine content of amount I was eating was equivalent to less than a quarter of a cup of coffee.
