What Causes Chest Pain After Having Duromine?
Hi, I m on my 5th day of taking duromine 30mg. I m 5 2 and weigh 76kg. The first couple of days were fine apart from thirst but now throughout the day I get a dull ache (not painful but noticable)which seems to be in my heart :-/ I don t have high blood pressure or any other medical issues.should I be concerned? Is it dangerous?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
Duramine is Phentermine and palpitations, chest discomfort, elevation of blood pressure are recognised side effects. Since you don't have high blood pressure or heart disease, it may not be dangerous or a cause of concern. It ought to be better soon. If it persists or there is chest pain or dizziness, you should see a doctor and have an EKG done.
Take care,
Dr Noble Zachariah
