Suggest Remedy For Heart Ailments

I am 27 years old. the NP in my drs office told me a couple of years ago that I had a heart murmur. nothing was done about it. My dr. never noticed even tho I wore a holter monitor one night until the np said something about it. He gave me adipex last thurs. the past couple of days ive been really tired, kind of lightheaded, and a little bit of pain in my chest. when i just walk say to the kitchen at a normal pace my legs hurt kind of like ive been walking on them all day nonstop...I guess they just feel tired. I have been walking a mile a day since last friday..I didnt walk today tho cause I have felt so bad. Could it be from the adipex?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

These can be due to adipex but are you obese. It is prescribed for obesity. You also mentioned you had heart murmur and this drug should be avoided in patients with heart murmur. Better option to have low calorie and low fat diet and regular exercises rather than using a drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
