Heart palpitations caused by phentremine diet pills.....

PGB
My sister has been taking phentremine diet pills that she bought off the internet without a prescription.  No one knew she was taking them.  She was even taking them behind her husband's back.  Now she is really sick.  Anybody else get sick after taking them?  The most disturbing of her symptoms is heart palpitations.  

Would appreciate hearing from anyone else who has had problems after taking these drugs.

sorry to hear of her condition. Ordering online is convenient, but not always safe. Do you know the website she ordered from? It is possible that she may have been prescribed pills that were not FDA approved and/or possibly "man made" to be a cheap imposter of the true drug. There are fake dr's and pharmacies online. Buyer beware! When the product is from an unknown or illegitimate source, who the hell knows what we are really putting into our bodies. Anyone can set up a website and claim to be legit, when in fact these people are making a "killing" by selling low grade Pharmaceuticals.

There is a company sending or spaming email offers, free trials for 15 day sample of Phentrazine 37.5. They ask for your banking or credit card info to bill you for delivery charges only. Small Print: once you give bank or CC info they will charge your account for 149.95 20 days later automatically. Please don't get caught in this scam!! Many have.. you could read further if you google ripoff reports or Pure Energy Prod.

From the sound of her post, It sounds like her sister has a very severe case which is why I seperated to two......for the majority of people the symptom of a racing heart when taking Phen just feels like a slightly elevated heart rate, no different than when you exercise, they definately would not be REALLY SICK.  Its sounds like her heart is really going at it.

Either way......if she is really sick she needs to see a doctor

If the side effect includes a racing heart, that is palpitations. Palpitations is the medical word for a racing heart. Most diet pills as well as caffeine has a side effect of palpitations (racing heart).

One of the main things with ordering online is to know your body first and if anything out of the ordinary happens to stop taking the medication immediately and see your doctor....it will be helpful to also take the doctor a sample of the pills.  

Phentermine is a prescribed drug for the same reason, you need to be monitored by a doctor...because it can cause high blood pressure etc.  You can only be somewhat safe ordering online if you are in tuned with your body you can tell if the medication is affecting you in a negative way.

The normal side effects for Phen is dry mouth, loss of appitite, racing heart and insomia....most of these side effects go away in a couple of days and shouldn't concern you.

Heart Palpitations are not normal for Phen.  Your sister needs to see a doctor.
