Continued Blood Pressure Problems... - Phentermine.com

Bulimic · July 30th, 2006, 01:54 PM

Hi. i have been off of Phen for 3 weeks now. It shot my blood pressure right up, which has ALWAYS run so low. Anyway, even now that i'm off of the Phen i am still having bouts of very elevated blood pressure. i know they call Hypertension the Silent Killer because you supposedly can't feel your blood pressure but when it is such a huge differnce than your normal i think you can. When i feel the many symptoms it seems to cause me, i go check and sure enough its high. Now i'm starting to feel concern since this problem has continued even though i disconinuted the Phen. i didn't get it from my regular doctor - just some loser doc who wants to make a quick buck. He didn't know anything about nutrition. i was rather humored when asking him questions he so obviously didn't have a clue about. Anyway, while i thought that was all funny at the time it isn't anymore. i can't really expect to get any valid medical care from him and either of my two regular doctors are going to hang me for taking the Phen... i would start it again in a heartbeat if it didn't make me so sick. i'm miserable the way i am but walking around on what felt like the verge of having a stroke wasn't great either... Has anyone experienced this???????? Thanks.

Who is taking your blood pressure and what was it?

Hey, I can't do the phen either.

I think you should check in with your regular doc, get his opin. The rise in bp could be something else. Good luck.

Have you considered any of the challenges? Also, that walking is a great exercise, which also helps the heart.
