Is there a disease called a cheese disease?

Answer 1

Yes.
It is caused by the biogenic

amine

Tyramine,

that is found in fermented food (like cheese, yogurt and soy sauce) and is associated with increased blood pressure and headaches.

The first signs of this were discovered by a neurologist who noticed his wife, who at the time was on MAOI medication, had severe headaches when eating cheese. For this reason, the crisis is still called the "cheese effect" or "cheese disease", though other foods can cause the same problem.
