Diet Pills Addiction Phetermine

Since 2009 I have been taking 37.5 Phentermine pills consistently with minor breaks and recently my chest has been giving me trouble.  Since last Sunday, my heart has been pounding with an elevated pulse so I decided to go to Primary physician.  She performed and EKG which my results were normal but she wanted me to see a Cardiologist to be sure... Well the pounding has improve but all last week my chest feels like someone is standing on top of it and its extremely hard for me to take deep breaths.  The "pressure (I guess thats it) comes and goes at any given moment so I am unsure of what are the triggers.  Ive been doing some research and have landed on few diagnosis but I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has or is suffering from this...I have been under a tremendous amount of stress but then again I have been taking a diet pill far too long...The last day Ive took the phetermine pill was approximately two weeks ago so I am not sure if my body is going through withdrawals and/or if I have cause heart damage due to the long-term use.  If anyone have any sound advice please share...Truly scared of the possible damage I could have cause to my body and/or heart!

The pounding got so bad I went to the ER this morning. The dr said everything was fine including blood work and EKG. He did say I was severly dehydrated which somewhat decrease the heart rate but he also says my heart skips so I'm unsure if the diet pills and/or dehydration is causing it...he also said its highly unlikely that pills are contributing since they've been out of my system for approx 3 weeks now. Going to cardiologist this week I'll keep you'll posted.
