I am still having low blood sugar, no appetite, headache worth 2 aspirins, palpitaions, pain in the left arm, weighted feeling on the heart area, dilated pupils and blood pressure 160/90. Normally, I am a very healthy and athletic mid-40 man. The euphoria is followed by a crash. This is toxic and any weaker person would have had a heart attack by now. FDA should regulate this in MultiVitamins - The prescribed dose of 200 mcg taken twice will get you all these symptoms in 6 hours after ingestion.

I had an awful reaction to chromium picolinate. The first time I took it I took 400micrograms, short while afterwards had headache, paranoia, numbness, dizziness. The second time I took it a few days later, only one 200microgram tablet, less than an hour later I felt similar effects, the weird feeling in my head, felt kinda high, later on a few hours later I got severe vertigo, dilated pupils, numbness in my hands and head, headache, anxiety, really bad palpitations, ended up in A&E. And I wasnt on any medication. I had a less severe episode the next day even without taking any more chromium.
