[|Human|] I am a 31 year old female, and I have been taking phentermine on and off for several months.  In the past few weeks, I have had a swooshing heartbeat sound in my left ear.  It comes and goes but it mostly occurs when lying down.  I feel really tired all the time and even right now my bones/muscles just dont even want to type.  Im having chest pains and lots of pressure on the right side, sometimes it feels like a brick is sitting on my chest.  I also the middle right side of my back hurts very often.  I went to the Dr. they said my ears and heartbeat was fine.  I have read that Phentermine can do things to your arteries and heart, and now Im really concerned.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, determine can damage heart and blood vessels. Phentermine is symphathomimetic Chat Doctor.  It stimulates lymphatic system. This will in turn cause rise in blood pressure, vasoconstriction and tachycardia (palpitations). So better to consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG and 2d echo. If all these are normal then no need to worry about determine related heart damage. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
