So I had some toast with cinnamon & sugar on top of it & now i have a tight feeling in my chest. Kinda like burning & it's making me breath faster. I've had it before & it's never done this to me. Does anyone know why it's making me feel like this?

    if you inhaled the cinnamon it's possible your brochial lining is irritated. If you didn't and you've had cinnamon before without any adverse reactions it's probably something else you've come into contact with. Just keep an eye on it. If your tongue or throat starts to swell get to the hospital otherwise I would say maybe take an anit histamine if you think it's an allergy.

    It's probably not allergies, since you say you've eaten this before. Consider not just what you ate but also what's gone on the rest of your day (weather, circumstance, etc.)

    You should never exceed 1.5 tsp a day of cinnamon as it is an very effective blood thinner in higher doses, depending on the type you took that may be why, in lower doses it is beneficial for blood sugar stabilizing. Some types will irritate the bronchial areas if inhaled accidentally. FYI cinnamon and honey would have been a much healthier choice.

    My daughter is like that too. We think she's been swapped for an alien teen as both her father and I absolutely LOVE honey!
