Dear Valerie, with that information, you may have valvular heart disease caused by
phen-fen. Also, diastolic dysfunction can be caused by other conditions less common
than high blood pressure but from your question, I don't have any suspicions of other
causes. It sounds like you need a thorough cardiology evaluation. We have a number
of expert physicians at Cleveland Clinic who may be able to help. If you would like to
be seen here, call 1-800-CCF-CARE and ask to make an appointment at the F-15
cardiology desk.
