Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Cold feet, tingling sensation in left leg, numbness. Taking phentermine, using heating pad. Cause of concern?
This is my third day taking phentermine . I take half the pill before breakfast and the other half before lunch. My feet have been cold since my first time taking it, but today my left leg started getting the tingly feeling (like when your foot falls asleep). I have tried stretching , elevating my leg and a heating pad but it isn t going away. Should I be concerned?
HI ! I would suggest you to get your blood pressure checked up at the first instance and get your blood sugar tested . If both are normal, and still you get such discomfort, it is better to show yourself to your family physician, so that you can be clinically examined to arrive at a conclusion. Wishing you an early recovery.
