Dark chocolate is supposed to be very good for you, however, chocolate does have caffeine in it, which can be restricted in heart patients. Maybe cut back to a piece a day. that way, you can have it everyday and not feel deprived.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
