PLEASE HELP!!!!

I started taking phentermine 37.5 July 15, 2009. I was doing just fine until sunday the 15th. I was washing dishes and started to have pains in my chest. I went to sit down and they went away only to return if I moved a certain way. Then I didn't have them anymore until I started to walk on my treadmill yesterday. I had a light pain and decided to decrease the speed. I was almost up to 1 mile and got another pain so I decided to discontinue my workout. Has anyone else had this problem or something similar to it? I took phentermine about 10 years ago and had no problem. I haven't had any pain today and I don't want to discontinue taking the medication and I also want to workout also. Someone please give me your input..... thanks.

it could just be a side effect that will wear off, are you drinking enough water? half your weight in oz every day? are you taking it slow and not ever exerting yourself? I would ask your doctor..phen affects our hearts and blood pressures.

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. I'M TAKING PHEN 37.5. I DRINK WATER BUT PROBABLY NOT AS MUCH AS YOU STATED THAT I SHOULD DRINK. I'M GOING TO PUSH MYSELF TO DRINK MORE. I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO HAVE TO CUT MY DOSE IN HALF. THIS DOSE REALLY KEEPS ME FROM GETTING HUNGRY. ON WEDNESDAY I WAS ALMOST A MILE IN ON MY TREADMILL WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME EXCERCISING SINCE STARTING THE PHEN. SOMETIMES I CAN BEND DOWN TO PICK UP SOMETHING AND IT HAPPENS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT TO COME OFF OF THEM BECAUSE I WEIGHED MYSELF YESTERDAY AND I LOST 9 LBS SINCE STARTING THEM ON JULY 15TH. I WEIGHED MYSELF ON JULY 24TH. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE MY DOCTOR ON THURSDAY. I USUALLY TAKE MY PILL AT 1:00AM BECAUSE I WORK 11PM UNTIL 7AM. IF I TAKE IT IN THE MORNING I WON'T GET ANY SLEEP. I HOPE THAT ITS NOTHING SERIOUS AND NOTHING RELATED TO THE PHEN BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO GET THIS WEIGHT OFF. GOOD LUCK TO YOU. YOU ARE DOING GREAT. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE SOME RESULTS LIKE THAT. THIS IS REALLY HELPING ME AND I WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO GIVE IT UP. THE PAINS AREN'T THAT BAD BUT ITS ENOUGH TO LOOK INTO. I HOPE THAT I CAN CONTINUE MY PHEN. I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. AGAIN THANKS FOR RESPONDING.
